FC Samartex 1996 head into Sunday’s Ghana Premier League encounter against Berekum Chelsea with renewed confidence following a morale-boosting win over Asante Kotoko.
The Timber Giants secured a 2-1 victory in their previous outing, ending an eight-game winless run and reaffirming their ability to compete against top sides. With momentum now on their side, Samartex will see this fixture as a key opportunity to strengthen their push for a top-four finish.
Despite the positive result, concerns remain over their recent home form at Samreboi. Samartex are without a win in their last three home matches, having recorded two draws before suffering a defeat to Bechem United. Improving their performances at home could be crucial in their late-season ambitions.
Berekum Chelsea, meanwhile, come into the game with a boost of their own after securing an important derby victory over Aduana FC. The result lifted them just two points above the relegation zone, keeping their survival hopes alive.
However, their struggles away from home continue to be a major concern. Chelsea are yet to record a single away win in all competitions this season, a statistic that leaves them facing an uphill task.
With Samartex chasing a top-four finish and Chelsea fighting to avoid relegation, Sunday’s clash is set to be a high-stakes encounter with significant implications at both ends of the table.
