Ghana Premier League Matchday 9 Preview: Elmina Sharks v Berekum Chelsea

Published on: 07 February 2020

Elmina Sharks were defeated by Legon Cities on matchday 8 and seek redemption as the prepare to host table toppers Berekum Chelsea.

Elmina Sharks have been without a win in their last four matches and their 1-0 defeat to Legon Cities showed that they need an inspiration. The Elmina-based outfit have earned eight points in eight games (1 point per game).

Yaw Acheampong’s side have scored just under a goal per game (7 goals) and conceded over a goal per game (9 goals) bringing to light their deficiencies in both the offensive end and defensive end. They will hope to earn their second win of the season as they host league leaders Berekum Chelsea.

Berekum Chelsea have been arguably the best side in the league so far. They are at the summit of the table with 17 points and have only lost once since the competition began (5W 2D 1L). The Blues possesses the joint second best defence in the league with just three goals allowed.

Asare Bediako’s side have however scored seven goals so far, sparking concerns of the potency of their finishing. They will look to improve that aspect as they make the trip to face Elmina Sharks on matchday 9.

In three meetings, Elmina Sharks have come away with one win (1W 1D 1L). The two teams shared the spoils in their previous encounter (1-1).
