2022/23 Ghana Premier League: Aduana Stars, Hearts of Oak, Kotoko to engage in a fierce battle for title in Second Round

The second round of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season will immediately kick off in the coming weekend.

The first round of the ongoing Ghanaian top-flight league campaign ended last weekend with a number of exciting games.

Per the calendar of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), there will be no break for clubs after playing 17 matches in the first round.

Week 18 of the league campaign is now just a couple of days away from starting with all clubs geared up for action.

From what was witnessed in the first round of the league, Aduana Stars, Asante Kotoko, and Hearts of Oak are the favourites to land the title.

While there is a very long way to go, the three clubs are expected to engage in a fierce battle in their quest to finish the 2022/23 season as Champions of the Ghana Premier League.

Be on the watch out for clubs including Bechem United, Accra Lions, and Medeama SC to also put on a strong showing in the second round.
