Insights:
  • Ashanti Gold have the most scored goals (29) in Premier League
  • Bechem United have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

5-6-22 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Bechem United when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 33 matches are 30-64 (scored/conceded).

Bechem United form and stats

There's been little loot from Bechem United's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 9 away games in the Premier League. Bechem United only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. A depressing six defeats in a row for Bechem in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Inter Allies.

As mentioned above, Bechem was the only team on the pitch versus Aduana Stars in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Bechem manager M. Zacharia has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
