Bibiani Gold Stars are growing in confidence as they push for a historic Ghana Premier League title defence, with the defending champions now sitting at the summit of the table after a crucial 1-0 victory over Vision FC on matchday 26. The win opened a two-point gap over second-placed Medeama SC, and with just eight matches remaining, belief within the camp is steadily building. Deputy Communications and Administrative Manager Joseph Oti Manu credited the transformation under the current technical leadership as a key factor behind their strong run. "We believe as a team, it takes so much to just reunite us because since our new coach took over, whatever he's done for the club is very massive and very transforming," Oti Manu told Citi Sports. Gold Stars' recent form backs up that confidence. The team has won five of their last six matches, a run that has propelled them into pole position at a decisive stage of the campaign. "So basically, for some time now, in the last six matches we've won five and lost one; it tells you how much we are set for winning the league once again," he added. Despite their strong position, the club is not getting carried away. Oti Manu emphasized a measured approach, drawing lessons from last season's title triumph, which went down to the wire. "We are picking game after game, match after match. We are not in a rush. Last season, we won the league almost on the final day. Everything looks set for us to just win the league back-to-back again." A major pillar of their title charge has been their formidable home record. Gold Stars have turned their ground into a fortress this season, boasting 11 home victories—an advantage they will look to maximize as the season enters its final stretch. With momentum, belief, and consistency on their side, Gold Stars appear firmly on course for another league triumph. But with eight games still to play, the race is far from over.
