Ghana Premier League returns as Hearts of Oak dare Chelsea in Berekum today, Kotoko host Karela

Action returns this afternoon in the Ghana Premier League with seven midweek thrilling games across the nation.

The GPL took a break last weekend to make way for the FA Cup Round of 16 matches to be cleared.

Reigning champions Accra Hearts of Oak will continue with the defence of their title when they head to Berekum to face Chelsea at the Golden City Park.

The Phobians are sixth on the table, 13 points behind leaders Asante Kotoko as we head into the Matchday 22 action.

The Phobians will look to build on their two-game winning run in all competitions as they seek to bridge the gap between them and those above them on the table.

Chelsea has sounded notice of winning this encounter and, Hearts will have to dig deep into their arsenal to get something out of this difficult fixture.

Second placed Bechem United also has a difficult away game at Dawu where they will face the might of Dreams FC on the Akwapem Ridge.

Dreams FC can be a handful for visiting teams on their day, and, the Hunters have a job on hand if they are to deny the home side the three points.

Aduana FC will have one eye on the game in Dawu as they welcome Legon Cities to the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park at Dormaa Ahenkro.

The Fire Lads will look to take advantage of any slip by Bechem United knowing a win will take them to the second position after these round of matches.

Medeama SC will host King Faisal Babes at the Akoon Park in Tarkwa where they will look to bounce back to winning ways in front of their home fans.

AshantiGold SC will be the clear favourites to collect the maximum points when they host Real Tamale United at the Len Clay Stadium at Obuasi especially so, as the visitors have been very poor on their travels this season.

Accra Great Olympics will fancy their chances of getting the three points when they welcome relegation strugglers WAFA to the capital.

The Dade Boys have been very strong at home this season, and, they are the bookmakers favourites to win this fixture against the academy lads who have failed to win on their travels.

Bottom side Elmina Sharks will look to pick the three points when they welcome fellow bottom three side Eleven Wonders to the Nduom Sports Stadium where they can be a worry for any opposition if they find their rhyme.
