Bibiani Gold StarsBibiani Gold Stars will be keen to shake off their poor start to the season when they host Basake Holy Stars at Duns Park on Sunday.The Miners are still searching for their first home victory of the campaign at a ground that has been a fortress for them in previous seasons.Petros Koukouras side currently sit 15th in the league standings with four points, with the coach recently expressing his frustration at their difficult start and even wishing for a magic stick to turn things around.Gold Stars finished runners-up last season, and they will know that a significant improvement is needed if they are to challenge anywhere near that level again this term.Standing in their way are fifth-placed Basake Holy Stars, who will be looking to make it back-to-back victories after edging Berekum Chelsea at home last weekend.Abdulai Gazales side have collected nine points from their opening five matches, five more than their hosts, and will be hoping to strengthen their position near the top end of the table.Holy Stars are also searching for their first away win of the campaign, but their record at Duns Park offers little encouragement. Gazales men have lost all three of their previous visits to Bibiani since gaining promotion to the top flight.That record gives Gold Stars reason for optimism despite their difficult start, but Holy Stars stronger form means the Miners cannot afford to rely solely on home advantage. With both sides having plenty at stake, Sundays encounter promises to be a closely contested battle.
