Young Apostles are set to host Bechem United on Sunday at Wenchi Sports Stadium in their first-ever meeting in the Ghana Premier League.
Both teams approach this fixture with recent victories, setting the stage for an engaging contest.
Young Apostles secured a crucial win over Karela on January 5, boosting their confidence after a challenging campaign. They have managed four wins, five draws, and seven losses in 16 matches this season.
While their defensive record has been reasonable, conceding 17 goals (1.06 per match), their attack has struggled, finding the net just 10 times (0.63 per match).
Bechem United, on the other hand, come into this encounter after defeating Hearts of Lions in their previous match. They boast a stronger record this season, winning eight, drawing five, and losing only three of their 16 games.
Their balanced approach is reflected in their 16 goals scored (1.00 per match) and 10 goals conceded (0.63 per match), making them one of the more organized sides in the league.
While Young Apostles will look to capitalize on home advantage and build on their momentum, Bechem United’s superior form and solid defence position them as slight favourites.
This debut encounter between the two sides promises an intriguing tactical battle as both teams aim to secure valuable points in their respective campaigns.
