2025/26 Ghana Premier League: Week 18 Match Preview - Medeama SC vs Young Apostles

Medeama SC will look to tighten their grip at the summit of the Ghana Premier League when they host Young Apostles on Sunday at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium, as the second half of the 2025/26 season gets underway.

The league leaders come into the fixture full of confidence after edging Hearts of Oak 1–0 last weekend, a result that underlined their title credentials and opened a two-point cushion at the top of the table. With 34 points from 17 matches, the Mauve and Yellow have combined attacking flair with defensive solidity, scoring 22 goals—the second-highest tally in the league—while conceding just 10, the joint second-fewest.

That victory also extended Medeama’s impressive unbeaten run to 14 league matches (W7, D7), the longest active streak in the division. Under the guidance of Ibrahim Tanko, the 2022/23 champions have been formidable at home, winning six and drawing three of their nine matches at the TnA Stadium. They have found the net 14 times on home soil while conceding only five, and will be keen to maintain their perfect home record as they pursue a second Premier League title.

Standing in their way are Young Apostles, who travel to Tarkwa seeking a reversal of fortunes after a difficult run of results. The Wenchi-based side have managed just one win in their last nine league outings (D4, L4), a sequence that has seen them slide to 10th place on the table with 21 points. Their most recent setback was a 2–0 away defeat to FC Samartex 1996, which highlighted their ongoing struggles on the road.

Young Apostles have scored 15 goals and conceded 18 this season, but their away form remains a concern. They rank as the eighth-best away side, with one win, three draws and five defeats from nine matches, scoring only three goals and conceding nine.
