As the Premier League enters its final stretch, matchday 29 promises to deliver high-stakes drama and captivating football across six venues on Sunday, April 27, 2025.
With the title race heating up, fierce competition for top-four places, and the relegation battle tightening, fans can expect a thrilling day of action that could significantly shape the remainder of the season.
Here is a Preview of Sunday's exciting Premier League games.
Asante Kotoko vs Aduana FC - Baba Yara Stadium 15:00 GMT
Asante Kotoko will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome Aduana FC to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, April 27, 2025, in a pivotal matchday fixture of the Ghana Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors, once contenders in the title race, have seen their title hopes fade in recent weeks following a dip in form. Consecutive defeats to relegation-threatened side Accra Lions and second-placed Nations FC have left Kotoko in fourth place on the league table with 47 points. Their recent league record paints a concerning picture, with just one win and two draws from their last five matches.
Despite their struggles, Kotoko remain formidable at home. They are unbeaten in their last five matches at the Baba Yara Stadium, recording four wins and one draw while keeping four clean sheets in that run. Ranked as the fourth-best home team this season, the Reds will be desperate to halt their four-game winless streak and restore confidence in front of their loyal supporters.
Aduana FC, two-time league champions, head into the fixture sitting 10th on the table with 38 points. The Fire Club have enjoyed a decent run of form recently, securing three victories, one draw, and a single defeat in their last five games. With 25 goals scored and 23 conceded so far this season, Aduana have proven to be competitive on the road, ranking among the top ten away performers in the league.
However, history does not favour the visitors when it comes to away trips to Kumasi. In their last four visits to face Kotoko in the league since the 2020/21 season, Aduana have managed just one win—a narrow 1-0 victory in 2020/21. Since then, the Porcupine Warriors have remained unbeaten at home against Aduana, drawing 1-1 in 2021/22, and claiming back-to-back wins in 2022/23 (2-1) and 2023/24 (1-0).
Vision FC vs Gold Stars - Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex 15:00 GMT
Vision FC will look to extend their impressive home form when they face league leaders Gold Stars FC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex on Sunday, in what promises to be a compelling Premier League encounter.
Nana Agyeman’s side enter matchday 29 with mounting pressure, sitting just a point above the relegation zone in 14th place. With only 30 points from 28 matches, Vision FC have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, managing just one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five outings. Defensively, they’ve been vulnerable, conceding 31 goals—joint second-most in the league—while scoring only 22.
However, their form at home has been a beacon of hope. The Tema-based outfit remain unbeaten in their last five home matches, recording two wins and three draws. On Sunday, they will rely heavily on that home resilience to pull off what would be their most significant result of the season.
Gold Stars FC arrive in excellent form and with their sights firmly set on the league title. The Miners edged regional rivals Medeama SC 1-0 last weekend, marking their fourth win in the last five matches. With 53 points from 28 games, they sit atop the table, boasting the second-best defensive record in the league with just 16 goals conceded, and 28 scored.
Under the guidance of Frimpong Manso, Gold Stars have proven themselves formidable both at home and on the road. They are currently ranked as the third-best away side this season and will be eager to secure their fifth away victory to keep their title push on track.
This fixture also marks a historic occasion, as it will be the first time Vision FC host Gold Stars in a Premier League match since gaining promotion earlier this season. With both teams entering with contrasting ambitions—Vision FC battling for survival and Gold Stars chasing glory—Sunday’s clash sets the stage for a fiercely contested showdown.
Legon Cities vs Heart of Lions - University of Ghana 15:00 GMT
Legon Cities will welcome Heart of Lions to the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, in a must-win Premier League fixture for the relegation-threatened Royals.
After a dismal start to 2025, Cities find themselves entrenched in the drop zone, sitting 17th on the league table with 25 points from 28 matches. The Royals have managed just four wins in 13 league games this year, alongside two draws and seven defeats—a run that has seen their survival hopes hang in the balance. Their defensive frailties remain a significant concern, having conceded a league-high 37 goals while scoring just 21.
Compounding their struggles is their inconsistent home form. Despite securing seven wins at the University of Ghana Stadium, Legon Cities have also suffered five defeats and two draws there, ranking them as the sixth weakest home side this season. With the battle for survival intensifying, Sunday’s match presents a critical opportunity to claw their way back into contention.
Meanwhile, Heart of Lions arrive in Accra brimming with confidence and momentum. The Kpando-based club have surged into third place with 47 points, following a strong run that includes back-to-back victories over Medeama SC and Accra Lions in their last five matches. With 30 goals scored—the third joint highest in the league—and just 19 conceded, the Lions have shown both attacking flair and defensive discipline this season.
On the road, they’ve also held their own. Ranked sixth among the league’s best away performers, Heart of Lions will be aiming to add a fourth away victory to their tally as they continue to push for a top finish.
This clash will be the second Premier League meeting between the two sides in Accra since Heart of Lions returned to the top flight last season. Legon Cities won the previous encounter 1-0, a result they will be hoping to replicate as they fight for their Premier League lives.
With one team battling to avoid relegation and the other chasing top four finish, Sunday’s showdown is set to be a compelling contest filled with urgency, ambition, and high stakes.
Karela United vs Dreams FC - Aliu Mahama Sports Complex 15:00 GMT
Karela United will be hoping to return to winning ways when they welcome Dreams FC to the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium on Sunday, April 27, 2025, in a high-stakes Premier League fixture.
The Tamale-based side have endured an inconsistent campaign, hovering just above the relegation zone in 15th place with 29 points from 28 matches. With the threat of relegation looming, Karela United know that a victory on Sunday could not only ease their survival fears but also mark their eighth win of the season—a significant step in their bid to retain top-flight status.
Nurudeen Amadu’s side have shown glimpses of resilience, winning two, drawing one, and losing two of their last five matches. While they’ve struggled offensively—scoring a league-low 17 goals—they remain one of the more disciplined defensive units in the bottom half, conceding only 22. Notably, their home form has been a source of strength. Karela are unbeaten in their last five home matches and have not lost a home league game to Dreams FC since 2020.
Dreams FC enter the contest looking to stabilize their form after a mixed run of results. Following back-to-back defeats to Medeama SC and Nations FC in which they conceded five goals without reply, the Believers responded with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Vision FC. They now sit 11th in the table with 37 points from 28 games, having scored 18 goals and conceded 23—making them the league’s second-lowest scorers.
Despite their struggles in front of goal, Dreams FC remain one of the more solid performers on the road, currently ranked seventh among the league’s best away sides. A win in Tamale would mark their fourth away victory this season and keep them within reach of a respectable top-half finish.
History, however, is not in their favour. Karela United have hosted Dreams FC four times in the Premier League since the 2020/21 season, winning three of those meetings and drawing the other. The most recent encounter at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium ended in a goalless draw in the 2023/24 season, with previous results including wins of 2-1, 1-0, and 2-0 for the hosts.
Berekum Chelsea vs Nations FC - Golden City Park 15:00 GMT
Berekum Chelsea will be hoping to extend their strong home run when they host red-hot Nations FC at the Golden City Park on Sunday, in what promises to be a gripping Premier League encounter.
Chelsea, currently ninth on the league table with 38 points, head into the fixture full of confidence following a spirited 2-1 away win over regional rivals Bechem United. Under the guidance of Samuel Boadu, the Blues have found consistency at home, where they remain unbeaten in their last five matches (W4, D1). Even more impressive, they have kept four clean sheets during that stretch, underlining their growing solidity in front of their home fans.
With 28 goals scored and 26 conceded so far this season, Berekum Chelsea have established themselves as a mid-table side with the potential to trouble any opponent on their day. Currently ranked as the seventh best home side in the league, they will be eager to protect their fortress when the league’s most in-form team comes calling.
Since their goalless draw against Vision FC on matchday 25, Nations FC have hit top gear, stringing together five consecutive wins without conceding a single goal. Their remarkable form has propelled them to second place on the table with 51 points, just two points behind the leaders.
Kassim Mingle Ocansey's side boast the league’s best attack and defence, having scored a league-high 32 goals and conceded just 14 in 28 matches. They are also the Premier League’s top away performers, with seven wins, three draws, and four losses on the road. Sunday's fixture offers them an opportunity to claim a record-extending eighth away win and continue their title chase with just five games remaining.
This fixture will be the second league meeting between the two sides at Golden City Park since Nations FC’s promotion to the top flight. The previous encounter ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for Berekum Chelsea, a result they will hope to replicate as they aim to disrupt Nations FC’s winning momentum.
FC Samartex 1996 vs Basake Holy Stars - Nsenkyire Arena 15:00 GMT
Defending champions FC Samartex 1996 will look to strengthen their push for a strong finish to the season when they welcome Basake Holy Stars to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday in a matchday 29 Premier League showdown.
The Timber Giants head into the fixture following a spirited 1-1 comeback draw against Young Apostles, a result that stretched their recent record to three wins, one draw, and one defeat in their last five matches. Christopher Ennin’s men currently occupy fifth place on the league table with 42 points from 28 games. While their attacking numbers remain modest with 25 goals scored, their defensive discipline has been key—they’ve conceded just 17 goals all season, the third joint fewest in the division.
At home, FC Samartex have turned the Nsenkyire Sports Arena into a stronghold, remaining unbeaten in their last five fixtures (W3, D2). Ranked ninth in the home performance charts, they will be aiming to extend that solid form and reassert their dominance as reigning champions in front of their home fans.
Basake Holy Stars, in their debut top-flight season, continue to show glimpses of promise. The Aiyinase-based club has won three and lost two of their last five matches, pushing them up to 12th place with 36 points. Their attack has been particularly impressive, netting 30 goals—the third joint highest in the league—though defensive lapses have cost them, with 29 goals conceded so far.
However, the Holy Stars’ Achilles heel has been their form away from home. They have managed just one win on the road all season (W1, D2, L10), making them the second weakest away side in the division. Sunday's fixture presents a significant test of their resilience, especially against a well-drilled Samartex side that rarely slips up on home soil.
This encounter marks the first-ever Premier League meeting between the two sides at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena, following Holy Stars’ promotion to the top flight this season. For Samartex, it’s a chance to continue their climb up the table. For the visitors, it’s an opportunity to make a bold statement and pull away from the congested mid-table.
