Bechem United Football Club will lock horns with league leaders FC Samartex 1996 at the Nana Fosu Gyaebour Park, Bechem in week 20 of the Ghana Premier League 2023/24 season.
Ahead of the highly anticipated game, Bechem United Football Club parted ways with their head coach Bismark Kobby Mensah due to disciplinary reasons. However, Bechem United has played just a single game since the start of the second round which they lost at home to Nsoatreman Football Club by a goal to nil. Their second game was postponed due to Dreams Football Club’s participation in the CAF Confederations Cup.
FC Samartex started the second round on a brighter note with a 1-2 away win over Aduana Football Club but suffered their first home defeat in the ongoing Ghana Premier League after being stunned by Ghana Premier League debutants Nations Football Club through Nafiu Sulemana’s lone goal.
Moreover, FC Samartex has the opportunity to go six points clear on top of the league log after Asante Kotoko Sporting Club’s away defeat to Karela United yesterday in Naleirugu.
Coming from defeats, both clubs will be going into the game full target on the maximum points.
