2021/22 Ghana Premier League: Week 17 Match Preview - AshantiGold vs. Bibiani Goldstars

Published on: 12 February 2022

AshantiGold SC suffered a slump in their resurgency in the last round when they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park.

The Miners were on three matches winning streak until that setback last Friday in Bechem with that lose.

They hope to get back to winning ways so as to end the first half of the season on a high note on Sunday when they welcome Bibiani Goldstars FC to Obuasi.

AshantiGold are currently 10th placed on the league standings. They could finish the first round in the top half with a win over Goldstars in the matchday 17 fixture.

German trainer Henry Haeusler will be at the dugout for the first time at the Len Clay Stadium and would want to get a victory in his first home match since he joined.

Haeusler will be welcoming defender Kamaradini Mamudu back to his team from injury ahead of Sunday's match. He has been out in the last two games.

Kwadwo Amoako who has travelled outside Ghana for trials in the USA is not available for selection to face Goldstars.

Goldstars will look to improve on their away form at Obuasi against AshantiGold. They have been very poor on the road in their maiden season in the top-flight.

The Miners from Bibiani have are yet to record their very first away victory ever since joining the Ghana Premier League.

After getting a draw at Medeama SC in Tarkwa in matchday two on November 9, 2022, they have lost every away match since then.

That's seven straight losses on the road for Goldstars but Michael Osei and his lads will try to nick at least a point from Sunday's encounter.

Goldstars have augmented their squad with the signings Prince Opoku Agyemang, Steven Owusu Kaakyire and defender Farouk Adams.

Kaakyire scored the match winner on his debut last week when they beat Aduana Stars 1-0 at the Dun's Park. He is available to face his former club.

Osei has a fully strength squad going into Sunday's match.
