The Miners take a 19-match unbeaten home run into Obuasi on Sunday, with struggling Young Apostles the next team to try to break it.
Ghana Premier League Matchweek 10 brings a big test of home dominance to Obuasi, where FC AshantiGold host Young Apostles at the Len Clay Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Miners are chasing a 20th consecutive home league game without defeat, and they have the momentum to do it.
That momentum comes from a gutsy 2-1 comeback win over Swedru All Blacks last time out. AshantiGold went a goal down, then fought back to take all three points. The result ended a two-match winless run and arrived at the right moment before the return to familiar territory.
Familiar territory is where AshantiGold are hardest to beat. Their unbeaten home league run stretches back to their Division One days and includes 15 wins and four draws. Len Clay has become a fortress where visiting sides often struggle to get anything.
Young Apostles arrive under real pressure. The Wenchi-based side are winless in their last three league games, with two defeats and a single draw, and they need a response quickly. Going to Obuasi to face one of the league's most formidable home sides is a tough way to look for one.
