League leaders Medeama SC will look to extend their impressive start and preserve their perfect home record when they face FC Samartex 1996 at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on Saturday, October 18, 2025.
The Mauve and Yellow have been in free-scoring form, netting 10 goals in five games — the highest tally in the Premier League and conceding just three.
Their 2-1 win over Dreams FC last weekend highlighted their attacking depth and resilience as they eye a third consecutive victory, a feat last achieved in September 2024.
At home, Medeama have been untouchable this season, winning all three matches and scoring eight goals. History also favours them they are unbeaten at home against Samartex since the Timber Giants’ promotion in 2022, winning twice and drawing once.
However, FC Samartex 1996 arrive in Tarkwa full of confidence after an unbeaten start to the campaign (W2, D3). Coach Christopher Ennin has built a disciplined, defensively strong side that has conceded only twice so far. Their challenge remains in attack they are yet to score away from home this season and have failed to score in their last three trips to Tarkwa.
Head-to-head: Medeama have won two of their last three home meetings with Samartex (2-0 in 2022/23, 1-0 in 2023/24), while last season’s clash ended goalless.
