Insights:
  • Medeama have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Bechem United has the most conceded goals in the second half (15) in Premier League

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Bechem United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-7-23 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.

Medeama form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Tarkwa T&A Park as Medeama have scored 7 goals to get 12 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 3-3-0 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Medeama, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Medeama are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus King Faisal. Before that, Medeama had a home game versus Hearts of Oak which ended with a victory 1-0.

Heartbreak for Medeama in their last match as King Faisal's K. Preprah scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Bechem United form and stats

There's been little loot from Bechem United's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Premier League. Bechem United only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Bechem United's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 3-1 against Great Olympics in their previous game. A 0-2 defeat away at Berekum Chelsea before that.

The attacking power of Bechem when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Bechem have conceded 12 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: four - one - three (Medeama wins - draws - Bechem United wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
