Medeama SC’s remarkable 17-match unbeaten run will be put to the test on Friday when the Ghana Premier League leaders travel to Abrankese to face Nations FC in a titanic Matchday 21 encounter. The Mauve and Yellow, enjoying a scintillating campaign under head coach Ibrahim Tanko, face a stern examination against a Nations FC side renowned for their resilience at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex. With momentum firmly on their side, Medeama arrive as favourites, but history and home form suggest this will be anything but straightforward. Crowned champions in the 2022/23 season, Medeama have been ruthless this term, opening an eight-point gap at the summit with 14 matches still to play. While the title race remains mathematically open, their consistency and authority have positioned them as clear frontrunners for a second Premier League crown. They come up against a Nations FC side battling inconsistency but buoyed by an impressive home record. Frimpong Manso’s men sit 12th on the table with 24 points from 20 matches, having managed just one win in their last five outings (D2, L2), including a 2-0 defeat away to FC Samartex 1996 last weekend. They have scored 15 goals and conceded 18 so far this season. Despite those struggles, Abrankese has been a fortress for Nations FC. They are unbeaten in all ten of their home league fixtures this season, recording six wins and four draws, scoring 12 goals and conceding just five. Crucially, they have never lost to Medeama at home in the Premier League since 2023, a statistic that fuels belief ahead of Friday’s showdown. Medeama, however, arrive in ominous form. They have occupied top spot since their narrow 1-0 away victory over Heart of Lions in Kpando on Matchday 16 back in December 2025 and continue to fend off pressure from title rivals Asante Kotoko and Aduana FC. After 20 matches, Tanko’s side boast 43 points, a league-high 30 goals scored, and one of the competition’s meanest defences, having conceded just 12 times. They head into the clash on a four-game winning streak, the best current run in the league, and rank as the second-best away performers, with four wins and four draws from nine road matches, losing only once. Medeama are also unbeaten in their last seven away fixtures (W3, D4). Friday’s contest therefore presents a fascinating contrast: Medeama’s relentless title charge against Nations FC’s proud home resistance. For the league leaders, it is an opportunity to extend their dominance and secure a first league victory in Abrankese since 2023. For Nations FC, it is a chance to revive their campaign and prove that their home ground remains a stumbling block for even the league’s most formidable side.
