The new Ghana Premier League season is in its second Round this weekend as clubs battle for points.
The 2023/24 Ghanaian top-flight league campaign commenced last weekend and saw some interesting results.
This weekend, one of the games coming up in Round 2 is a clash between Karela United and Berekum Chelsea.
In the build-up to the game, this is a concise preview by the footballghana team.
Preview:
In this preview, we look at the first games of both teams played in the opening weekend of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.
Last weekend when the league commenced, Karela United played away from home and looked like they would return to Tamale with full marks after taking the lead against Legon Cities FC.
It was, however, not meant to be as the Accra-based club came from behind to secure a 2-1 win at the end of the 90 minutes.
The opponent for this weekend, Berekum Chelsea started the new season with a commanding 2-0 win over Bibiani Gold Stars at home.
Now heading Tamale for the second game of the season, the Blues are feeling confident and hope to record a second win.
Head-to-head:
Looking back at the last five meetings between the two teams, they are tied with one draw and two wins each.
Last season, Berekum Chelsea won the home game while Karela United also bagged all three points in the reverse fixture.
Maybe, it could be the same this season.
Predicted scoreline:
Courtesy of the home advantage, Karela United appears to be slightly ahead of Berekum Chelsea despite the opening-day defeat.
Should the side get the first goal, the fans could inspire the team to victory. It should be noted that Berekum Chelsea have momentum and would not come cheap.
Karela United 1-1 Berekum Chelsea.
Match details:
The match between Karela United and Berekum Chelsea is scheduled to be played on Sunday, September 24.
The game will kick off at 3 p.m. at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
