Berekum Chelsea form and stats

Berekum Chelsea have performed here at Golden City Park this season with 8 wins from 14 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 5 games and lost 1. In general it's been a long time since Berekum Chelsea tasted defeat here at Golden City Park, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

In their previous game, the manager Odwo led his Berekum to a defeat away at Great Olympics. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Golden City Park.

Prior to that, an away loss at Ashanti Gold.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Berekum Chelsea as they are travelling to their away game against Asante Kotoko in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
