The 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season will resume on today, Monday, December 19, after a one-month break.

When the season picks back up the following week, the league will enter matchday 9 and clubs will continue to compete for points in an effort to push over their season-long goals.

For the matchday, there will be matches played on Monday through to Wednesday, December 21.

On Wednesday, Asante Kotoko will go up against Berekum Chelsea in a tough encounter.

Form:

Defending champions Asante Kotoko are aiming to make it back-to-back Ghana Premier League wins for the first team in a long time.
