Hearts hope for first win; Kumasi derby and Tamale derby on the menu.

On 25th October 2022, an Accra High Court dismissed Ashantigold’s case, making it possible for the Ghana Premier League to resume. Week 4 of the Ghana Premier League is packed with mouthwatering games and here is a preview on it.
Hearts of kick start this weekend’s games against Bibiani Goldstars at the Accra sports stadium on Saturday. The Phobians are yet to win a game this season after playing three games. Bibiani Goldstars have also won only one game on the road since they made their debut in the GPL since last season.
