TAMALE, Ghana (Interstat) – Tamale City hosts Young Apostles FC on Saturday in a GHA: Cup of Cup matchup at Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, with both clubs seeking momentum after recent struggles.

Young Apostles FC (3-6-1 in their last 10 matches across all competitions) enter the fixture following a scoreless draw April 19 against Vision FC. The visiting side has shown inconsistency, posting three wins, one draw and six losses since early February, including three shutout defeats in their last four league outings. Their lone victory in that span came April 12 against Gamba All Blacks.

Tamale City has not played a competitive match since Nov. 30, 2024, when they fell 1-0 at Wa Power. The extended layoff could present rust for the home side.

Interstat projects a 1-0 win for Young Apostles FC based on its game simulator, though the firm’s ELO system gives Tamale City a 66.90 percent probability of victory.

Young Apostles FC’s record includes notable wins over Heart of Lions (3-0 on March 29) and Bibiani Gold Stars (3-1 on March 8), but also narrow losses to Hearts of Oak (1-0 on April 5) and Basake Holy Stars (1-0 on March 22). The team has scored 12 goals and conceded 10 across their last 10 matches, with five clean sheets.

Tamale City, playing at home in northern Ghana’s largest stadium, will look to capitalize on Young Apostles FC’s road vulnerability. The visitors have lost three of their last five away games.

Following Saturday’s cup tie, Young Apostles FC resume GHA: Premier League play April 26 at Karela, beginning a four-match stretch that includes Nations FC (May 10), Aduana Stars (May 17) and Samartex (May 23).

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time.
