As the Ghana Premier League approaches its final stretch, the race for the title is reaching fever pitch with four clubs—Nations FC, Heart of Lions, Basake Holy Stars, and Asante Kotoko—all in strong contention. 

Just three points separate table-toppers Nations FC and fourth-placed Asante Kotoko, making every remaining fixture a potential decider.

Asante Kotoko, buoyed by their recent MTN FA Cup semi-final win over Berekum Chelsea, will be looking to transfer that momentum into their league campaign when they host Dreams FC at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium tomorrow. 

Under  guidance of Abdul Karim Zito—himself a former coach of Dreams FC—the Porcupine Warriors are determined to stay on course for a record-extending 26th league title.

Historically, Kotoko have enjoyed dominance over Dreams FC. The visitors have managed just one win at the Baba Yara Stadium in five appearances, scoring only twice in that span. 

Even in their former Dawu base, Dreams FC have found Kotoko formidable, with the Kumasi-based giants winning five of their eight meetings.

However, Dreams FC enter the match with renewed confidence, having won their last two league matches. In contrast, Kotoko have struggled, with only one victory in their last five outings. 

A win for Dreams FC would mark a significant milestone—just their second victory at the Baba Yara—and could boost their position in the mid-table rankings.

Another high-stakes encounter will unfold at the Ampain AAK II Sports Arena, where Heart of Lions face fellow title hopefuls Basake Holy Stars.

While Holy Stars are newcomers with limited top-flight experience, they pose a real threat at home. Heart of Lions, who won the first leg 3-1 at home, will look to replicate that performance to keep their title dreams alive, or possibly take the lead, should other results favour them.

Elsewhere, Accra Hearts of Oak may be out of the title race but remain focused on finishing among the top four. They will visit Berekum Chelsea at the Gold City Park in one of the weekend’s standout fixtures. 

The Phobians will hope to complete the double over Chelsea after beating them 3-1 in the first leg at the University of Ghana Stadium.

However, Berekum Chelsea’s head coach, Samuel Boadu, who formerly managed Hearts, will be keen to avoid back-to-back defeats to his old club and restore pride on home soil.

In other matches, relegation-threatened Karela United will seek to boost their survival hopes when they welcome Medeama SC to the Aliu Mahama Stadium in Tamale, while defending champions FC Samartex 1996 host Bechem United at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena.

Meanwhile, league leaders Nations FC will travel to the University of Ghana Sports Stadium to face relegation-threatened Legon Cities on Monday. 

Nations FC, currently on 54 points, are aiming to solidify their lead against a side languishing in 17th place with just 25 points from 30 games. 

Legon Cities have managed only seven wins all season, offering Nations FC a prime opportunity to stretch their advantage.

The pressure on Nations FC has intensified following Bibiani Gold Stars' awarded victory over Nsoatreman FC, which had withdrawn from the league. 

The automatic three points and three goals push Gold Stars closer in the title race, making Nations FC’s Accra trip a must-win.
