2025-26 GHANA PREMIER LEAGUE PREVIEW: MEDEAMA SC VS DREAMS FC, A CLASH OF TITANS AT TNA STADIUM 

• By: Isaac Amponsah Dr Ike and Aaron Kintoh

• Predictions: Home win/draw 

Medeama SC will host Dreams FC at the TNA Park in Tarkwa on Friday, October 10, 2025, in matchday 9 of the Ghana Premier League at 16:30 GMT.

Medeama SC will be searching for their fourth win of the season against struggling Dreams FC, who are yet to record a win in the campaign. 

Medeama SC bounced back from their first defeat against Kerala United at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in their week three fixture to secure a narrow win over Nations FC last weekend Sunday at the TnA Stadium, while Dreams FC drew against Vision FC at home. 

Medeama SC have had a good start to the season, with three victories and one loss. Dreams FC are winless in their four matches played, with three defeats and one draw, and will be desperate to get their first win.

Pre-match interview among the two teams' coaches, Medeama and Dreams FC.

Almost all my players are doing well. I hope it continues like that. We are ready to deliver on Friday,” the Medeama SC head coach Ibrahim Tanko said.

He continued, “To the fans, we hope that on Friday they will come and support us.”

Our preparations for Medeama game have been great. We dropped points against Vision FC, and we quickly did our recovery and switched our attention to Medeama. On Friday, the team will be ready to play.

“Dreams FC against Medeama SC on any other day is a crucial game we are struggling but we are playing some interesting football. It’s just that we are also conceding some bad, avoidable goals, and we are not scoring enough. 

The technical team has been working around the clock and making sure all departments are solid before Friday,” Winfred Dormon told Dreams FC TV.
