Ghana’s elite football championship started in the first half of September 2022 and will end in early June 2023. During this period of time, 18 participating teams will play 34 rounds. The club with the most points will win the league title and qualify for the AFC Champions League next season. At the same time, the teams that take places from 16th to 18th will go down in class. The fight for gold medals in the Ghanaian Premier League is expected to be serious.
The main contenders for the Ghana Premier League title after 14 rounds were three teams, namely: Aduana Stars, Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak. By carefully analyzing the form of the clubs and their previous results, you can understand in more detail who will have more chances for gold.
Aduana Stars
The team of Takya Arhin, after 14 rounds of the championship, led the standings, but in 2023 the team began to decline. In the January segment, the Aduana Stars signed the world with Asante Kotoko, Bibiani Gold Stars and Accra Lions. Also, the club from the city of Dormaa Ahenkro defeated Kotoku Royals dry and sensationally lost on the road to one of the main outsiders of the Karel league. In total, by the end of January, the Ogja had won seven victories, with four draws and three defeats. Two fiasco brainchild George Giavu suffered from the teams located in the relegation zone.
By the end of January, the Ogja had the best defense in the league (10 goals conceded), but the attack was one of the worst in the top six. Overall, the Aduana Stars win on a solid defense, but wins are mostly minimal. The entire fight for gold medals is still ahead of the two-time winner of the Ghanaian Premier League. At the same time, Joseph Addo and partners have quite good chances for the championship. If you want to place bets on this tournament, we advise you to register at ro’yxatdan o’tish Mostbet.
Asante Kotoko
Asante Kotoko are the most titled club in Ghana, having won the national championship 24 times. In the current championship, the wards of Prosper Natreh Ogum, after 14 rounds, were one point behind Aduan Stars and ahead of Hearts of Oak in additional indicators. After scoring six wins and drawing the same number of times, the team suffered two defeats from Becham United and Real Tamale on the road. At the same time, by the end of January 2023, the “porcupine warriors” had the strongest attack in the league. On average, a team from the city of Kumasi scored one and a half goals in 90 minutes of playing time.
In the January segment, Asante Kotoko had five fights. Having painted four world matches in a row with Aduana, Great Olympics, Tamale City and Bibiani Gold Stars, Justice Blay and partners defeated the Kotoku Royals with a score of 5:1 at home. In terms of play, the “porcupine warriors” look very confident and may well get the 25th league title in the history of the club.
Hearts of Oak
The guys of Slavko Matic by the end of January 2023 were in third place in the tournament. Led by Asante Kotoko in additional stats, Phobia was one point ahead of No. 4 Bibiani Gold Stars, No. 5 Accra Lions and No. 6 Bechem United. Having suffered only two defeats against Aduan and Becham United, Hearts of Oak won six times and drew the same number of times. Possessing a fairly good defense, the Red-Yellow-Blues did not look the worst in attack, but they were inferior to the Porcupine Warriors, Accra Lions and Real Tamale in terms of goals scored.
Hearts of Oak have managed to win the national championship 21 times in the history of the team. In the current season of “phobia” it will not be easy, but Samuel Inkum and partners may well compete for gold medals.
Our forecast
In 2023, the Aduana Stars began to show disgusting results, and at a distance this team, most likely, can even fall below the top three. The main fight for the championship title should unfold between Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak. “Phobia” has a more powerful roster, and it is thanks to a good selection of players that this team is more likely than “porcupine warriors” to get “gold”.
