Hearts of Oak vs Berekum ChelseaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Opening round with an empty table, so the picture comes from how last season ended. Hearts of Oak closed with a 4-2 over Medeama, after a 0-1 away at Samartex and two goalless home draws with Aduana Stars and Karela; before those a 1-0 away to Nations and a 0-1 at Vision. Berekum Chelsea arrive on the back of five straight wins: 3-2 over Bechem United, 2-0 at Eleven Wonders, 1-0 over Dreams, 2-1 over Medeama and 3-0 at Hohoe United; the only slip in that stretch is a 0-1 away to Samartex, the oldest of the results listed. In the six previous meetings Hearts of Oak have never lost: four wins, including a 3-1 and a 2-0, and two draws, 0-0 and 1-1. The most recent meeting, in February 2026, finished goalless. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.

In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
