Match Preview and Prediction: Berekum Chelsea vs Kotoko
The betPawa Premier League will resume across the various match venues in the country, the Golden City park will host Berekum Chelsea and Kotoko.
The duo will certainly fancy their chances as they go head-to-head for all 3 points in the early kick-off on Friday afternoon in Berekum.
The Bibires have had contrasting fortunes in their last five games, with only one win within that period but their home form is one that needs loads of plaudits, they have managed to go nine games without a loss, which they will be looking to preserve on the tenth time of asking as they face the Porcupine Warriors.
Coach Ennin will be without his top scorer, Mezack Asante who has since joined Genk in Belgium but hopefully he has other contingency plan lineup to avert the attack of the Red devils.
The away club have flattered to deceive in their last few encounters, just a win in their last five games, but their away form leaves a lot to be desired, interestingly, their last two games have seen them rack four points from a possible six which has breath light into their title retention hopes.

The Bibires are 8th on the log with 34 points, five adrift their weekend opposition with an eye set on top four hopes.

Hearts head coach Nebojša Kapor has lamented the infrastructure problems in Ghanaian football.
Hearts of Oak secured a crucial 1-0 win over Port City FC at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, ending a three-match winless run in the Ghana Premier League.
Frank Duku’s 20th-minute goal was enough to separate the sides and hand the Phobians three points against the newly promoted outfit.
Despite the win, head coach Nebojša Kapor was left frustrated about the poor state of the Legon pitch.
“This is not our stadium; it’s a national stadium. Ghana football has serious problems with proper pitches,” Kapor said after the match.
The Serbian tactician’s remarks reflect growing frustration among coaches over the quality of playing surfaces across the league.
The Phobias have adopted the University of Ghana as their temporary home venue for the Ghana Premier League.
Hearts of Oak will play Vision FC in the next league game away from home.
