Premier League Matchday 9 Preview: Berekum Chelsea Welcome Newcomers Holy Stars to the Golden City Park
Berekum Chelsea will look to bounce back from their first defeat of the season as they host newly promoted Holy Stars at the Golden City Park on Sunday for matchday 9 of the Premier League.
The Blues, who had an unbeaten start until last weekend, dropped to sixth place with 13 points after a narrow 1-0 loss to FC Samartex.
Despite this setback, Coach Samuel Boadu’s team remains formidable at home, having won their last two league games on home turf.
Berekum Chelsea’s disciplined defence has been a key asset, conceding only four goals so far while scoring seven.
As they return to the Golden City Park, they will be eager to reclaim momentum and fortify their position among the league’s top contenders.
Holy Stars, on the other hand, arrive with a blend of resilience and challenges.
The Aiyinase side come off a thrilling encounter against giants Asante Kotoko, where they salvaged a point with a dramatic last-gasp equaliser in a 1-1 draw.
Though they sit 14th in the standings with eight points from eight games, the team has shown moments of promise.
With two wins, two draws, and four defeats, Holy Stars have struggled on the road, suffering three consecutive away losses in their last four outings.
This marks the first league meeting between Berekum Chelsea and Holy Stars since the latter's promotion to the Premier League, adding an element of intrigue to the encounter.
Chelsea’s fortress at the Golden City Park will be a tough test for Holy Stars, who must dig deep to defy their away struggles.
It’s a clash of experience versus ambition—a test of Berekum Chelsea’s home strength against the tenacity of Holy Stars.
