Premier League Preview: Heart of Lions host Berekum Chelsea as Vision face Hearts of Oak in Tema on Saturday
NEWS Updated: 17 Oct 2026 Reading time: 5 min Ayeh Offei-Akoto The Premier League continues on Saturday with two intriguing Matchday 7 fixtures, as Heart of Lions welcome Berekum Chelsea to the Kpando Stadium, while Vision FC host Hearts of Oak SC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema New Town. Heart of Lions vs Berekum Chelsea Heart of Lions will be determined to return to winning ways when they host Berekum Chelsea at the Kpando Stadium on Saturday, with the home side eager to put last weekend's setback behind them and preserve their impressive unbeaten home record.
The Kpando-based outfit sit 11th on the league table with eight points after their three-game unbeaten run came to an end in disappointing fashion, suffering a 3-1 away defeat to league leaders Medeama SC in Tarkwa. That result leaves Heart of Lions with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five league matches, during which they have scored seven goals and conceded eight.
Despite their recent setback, their performances at home offer grounds for optimism. Heart of Lions remain unbeaten in their three home league matches this season, recording one victory and two consecutive goalless draws at the Kpando Stadium.
They will be keen to turn that defensive resilience into another three-point haul as they look to maintain their strong home record and climb the standings. Since returning to the top flight in the 2024/25 season, Heart of Lions have won both of their home league meetings with Berekum Chelsea, with each encounter ending in a narrow 1-0 victory.
The Kpando lads will hope to draw inspiration from those results as they prepare for another stern test against a Chelsea side arriving with renewed confidence. Berekum Chelsea head into the fixture buoyed by their emphatic 3-0 victory over newly promoted Debibi United FC at the Golden City Park last weekend, a result that ended their three-game winless run of one draw and two defeats.
The victory was their first in the league since beating Dreams FC 3-1 on Matchday 2 and provided a timely boost ahead of their trip to Kpando. Chelsea have recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five league outings, scoring eight goals and conceding nine.
Their latest triumph has lifted them to 13th position with seven points, just one point behind Heart of Lions. The visitors will be eager to build on that result and register consecutive league victories for the first time this season.
However, their away form remains a major concern. Berekum Chelsea are among six teams yet to pick up a point on the road this season, having lost all three of their away league matches.
They have scored just once and conceded seven goals across those encounters. Vision FC vs Hearts of Oak Vision FC face a demanding test on Saturday when they welcome second-placed Hearts of Oak SC to the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema New Town, with both sides entering the encounter with contrasting objectives.
