Ghana Premier League: Home Teams Dominate After 5 Matchdays
Home Teams Dominate Ghana Premier League as Matchday 6 Looms Five matchdays into the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season, home teams have won 26 of 45 matches and scored 66 of 101 goals - a trend fans should watch heading into this weekend's fixtures. The GFA reports that the 2025/26 campaign has produced 45 matches and 101 goals so far.
Of those matches, home teams have claimed 26 wins, while away sides have managed just 7 victories. The remaining 12 fixtures ended in draws.
The scoring pattern tells a similar story. Home teams have netted 66 of the season's 101 goals, more than double the 35 goals scored by visiting sides, the GFA's figures show.
The data also shows that first-half action has been livelier than the second, with 56 goals scored before the break compared to 45 after half-time. Matchday 5 results showed home sides such as Aduana FC, Port City FC and FC Samartex 1996 all winning on their own turf.
Among penalty takers, Francis Odoom of Heart of Lions FC leads the pack with three converted spot-kicks. Stephen Amankona tops the Matchweek 5 scoring charts with four goals.
With away wins making up only a small fraction of results so far this season, the statistics suggest that travelling clubs have found it difficult to pick up points on the road, a trend that could shape expectations for upcoming fixtures if it continues. The GFA has not offered an explanation for the disparity in its release, and it remains unclear whether the trend will hold as the season progresses or level out as teams become more accustomed to away travel and conditions across the league's various centres.
What Happens Next Matchday 6 fixtures are scheduled to continue this weekend across the league's various centres, according to the GFA, though specific kickoff times and venue pairings for the round were not detailed in the association's statistical release.
