The 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season is continuing this weekend with nine matches scheduled to be played.

This weekend, there will be matches played from Friday, February 17, to Sunday, February 19.
The first match of Week 18 of the Ghana Premier League season is to be played on Friday between Medeama SC and Legon Cities FC.
Form Guide:
Medeama SC, the team set to play as the home side goes into the fixture as the favourites.
The team is currently 7th on the Ghana Premier League table with 24 points from 17 games.
While two wins, two defeats, and one draw from the last five matches is not that impressive, the home advantage of the club should come in handy.
