2025/26 Ghana Premier League: Week 12 Match Report - Basake Holy Stars vs Nations FC

Basake Holy Stars will look to build on their impressive late victory over Asante Kotoko as they welcome Nations FC to the Ampain AAK II Sports Arena City on Sunday.

That dramatic 2-1 win against one of the league’s title contenders has given the team renewed belief as they continue their push to climb out of the relegation zone. Sitting second from bottom, Holy Stars know that another positive result could provide a significant lift.

Confidence is high in their camp, but their defensive record remains a concern. They have conceded in three straight matches, which leaves little room for error. Still, their spirited showing against Kotoko suggests they have enough quality to trouble any side when they find rhythm and purpose in their play.

Nations FC also arrive with a sense of momentum after ending a three-match winless run with a victory over Bibiani Gold Stars in Abrankese. Their inconsistency has kept them in mid-table, but they remain a difficult side to judge, with performances fluctuating from week to week.

The recent meetings between the two clubs underline how closely matched they are. They have faced each other twice since January 2025, with each team securing one win. Their last encounter, in June 2025, saw Holy Stars claim a narrow 1-0 win. Across those matches, Holy Stars have scored two goals while Nations have netted three.

In the league this season, Holy Stars have managed two wins, three draws and six defeats from eleven matches, scoring nine goals and conceding seventeen. Nations have three wins, four draws and four losses, with ten goals scored and eleven conceded.

Holy Stars sit 17th with nine points, while Nations occupy 11th place with thirteen points. With both sides coming off victories, Sunday’s fixture promises a competitive contest as they each look to strengthen their league positions.
