The 2024/25 Ghana Premier League enters Round 8 this weekend, featuring several key matches.
Basake Holy Stars vs. Kotoko
Basake Holy Stars have picked up four points at home in three games this season, which seems respectable. However, against a giant like Kotoko, it’s clear that they may struggle. The Kumasi-based team is motivated to close the gap between them and first-place Bibiani Gold Stars, who have a fierce encounter with Hearts of Oak on the same day (Sunday). Therefore, Kotoko will be going all out for victory, as Gold Stars’ results could go either way.
Hearts of Oak vs. Gold Stars
With only nine points from their opening seven games, Hearts of Oak’s record is disappointing, especially considering they have lost twice. Their recent results have frequently ended in draws, and this match appears likely to follow that pattern. Gold Stars, on the other hand, are riding high and remain undefeated so far. While a draw would satisfy them, a win would provide a significant boost, making this a win-or-draw situation for Gold Stars.
Aduana Stars vs. Medeama
Medeama, just one point away from the top spot, will be eager to secure maximum points against Aduana Stars, who have a current record of one win, three draws, and three losses. However, Aduana has shown the ability to score at home, making this match challenging. Medeama’s worst expected outcome is a draw.
Samartex vs. Berekum Chelsea
It seems that the reigning Premier League champions, Samartex, may not be able to defend their title this season, having collected only 10 points from a possible 21. Their struggles are evident, and they face a tough challenge against an unbeaten Berekum Chelsea. The visitors have scored in three of their last four meetings with Samartex, so a goal-fest seems likely, with a draw being the probable outcome.
Other Predictions
– Bechem United vs. Karela: Home win in at least one half
– Hearts of Lions vs. Nsoatreman: Away win or draw
– Nations FC vs. Vision: Away team to score
– Young Apostles vs. Dreams: Away win or draw
