Medeama SC’s flying start to the season faces its first major test when they travel to Tamale to face Karela United at the Aliu Mahama Stadium on Sunday.
The Yellow and Mauves have been flawless so far, winning both of their opening games against Vision FC and Young Apostles. With six points and six goals scored without conceding, they sit top of the table and look determined to build early momentum in their title pursuit.
Karela United, however, have also enjoyed a strong start. They opened with an impressive win over Aduana FC before holding Samartex to a draw, collecting four points from two difficult fixtures. They currently occupy third place and will be eager to protect their unbeaten run.
This encounter rekindles a rivalry that last played out in May when Karela defeated Medeama 3-1 in the Premier League. Recent history shows a balanced head-to-head: in their last six meetings since December 2022, both sides have two wins apiece, with two draws. Karela have scored five goals in that period while Medeama have netted four.
Karela will take confidence from their defensive record at home, boasting three straight clean sheets dating back to last season. Medeama, meanwhile, carry the league’s most potent attack so far, averaging three goals per game.
With Karela unbeaten and Medeama yet to concede, Sunday’s clash promises to be a gripping contest between two sides eager to assert themselves in the early title race.
