2021/22 Ghana Premier League: Week 13 Match Preview - King Faisal Babes vs. Karela United

Published on: 14 January 2022

King Faisal Babes will welcome Karela United FC to the Babayara Stadium in Kumasi on Friday in the Ghana Premier League matchweek 14 as they seek a rebound from last round's loss.

The Insha Allah Boys suffered a 2-0 defeat to Eleven Wonders FC in Techiman which has seen them fall three points behind leaders Asante Kotoko SC on the log.

Faisal will go into this encounter with a full confidence having in mind that they are invincible at home in the premiership so far this campaign.

Nurudeen Amadu's side have managed six wins and one draw from their seven home matches at the Babayara Stadium this season.

By extension, Faisal are undefeated at home in the league in the ten games and Karela will be the next victim on Friday.

Youngster Zubairu Ibrahim has scored all of his 6 goals this season in Kumasi and must replicate that on Friday to ensure a Faisal win.

Faisal have a full compliment of their squad available to face Karela with a return of Richard Wiafe, Ortis Sam and others back to full fitness.

Karela have the opportunity to backup from their slumber lately as they make the trip from Nzema-Aiyinase to Kumasi for the match against Faisal.

The Pride and Passion side have been on a patchy run recently having managed only one win in their last five matches in the league.

Karela will also try to improve on their poor away form this campaign. They are yet to register a win on the road in the premiership.

They have managed to pick on two points from their six matches as visitors this term losing four of them.

Karela go into Friday's game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Great Olympics at the Accra Sports Stadium last weekend and that could be some of sort of motivation.

Bismark Kobi-Mensah has almost a full squad to face Faisal.
