Basake Holy Stars will return to the AAK II Sports Arena in Ampain on Sunday afternoon when they host FC AshantiGold 04 in a Matchday 3 fixture of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season.
Holy Stars made a promising start to the campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Swedru All Blacks on the opening weekend. However, their early momentum was halted last weekend when they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Young Apostles.
The Ampain-based side will be eager to bounce back on home soil and avoid another setback. With Holy Stars having lost two of their last three home league matches, Sunday’s encounter presents an important opportunity for the hosts to find consistency early in the season.
Standing in their way is an AshantiGold side that has made an encouraging return to Ghana’s top flight.
The newcomers remain unbeaten after their opening two matches, beginning with a 1-1 draw against Port City before recording an impressive 3-1 victory over Vision FC in Obuasi last weekend.
Teenage forward David Gyamfi Junior stole the spotlight in that encounter, scoring the first hat-trick of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season to inspire Abdul Karim Zito’s side to their first-ever three points in the competition.
AshantiGold will head to Ampain full of confidence following that impressive victory, while Holy Stars will be hoping to use home advantage to return to winning ways.
With both teams looking to achieve different objectives after the opening two rounds, Sunday’s encounter promises to be an intriguing contest as Holy Stars seek a response and AshantiGold aim to preserve their unbeaten start.
