The 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season has been scheduled to commence this weekend.
But for the Asante Kotoko’s involvement in the CAF Champions League, the first match of the new league season would have been played later this afternoon.
Following the rescheduling of that match involving the defending champions, eight matches are expected to come off on Saturday and Sunday.
On Sunday, Berekum Chelsea will host King Faisal in what promises to be an exciting game.
The encounter will be the last of the eight matches to be played this weekend.
Head-to-head:
The hosts, Berekum Chelsea holds the upper hand in terms of the head-to-head statistics.
From the last five meetings between the two teams, the Blues have won four times, with King Faisal only winning the other game.
Last season, it was Berekum Chelsea that won both games played between the two teams.
With this good record, the Blues go into the upcoming fixture in high spirits.
Predicted scoreline:
King Faisal Finished 14th last season and only managed to escape relegation by two points.
For Berekum Chelsea, the team did well to secure an 8th-place finish. Having enjoyed a good pre-season, the Blues appear stronger and the favourites to knick the maximum points.
While the footballghana team foresees King Faisal putting up a good fight, we predict a narrow 2-1 win for Berekum Chelsea at the end of the contest.

This weekend’s encounter between Berekum Chelsea and King Faisal will be played on Monday, September 12. Kick-off is at 15:00GMT.
