The University of Ghana is set to be a focal point of action as Accra Lions take on last season’s Ghana Premier League champions, FC Samartex, in an exciting match week 9 encounter.
FC Samartex, currently 4th in the league standings with 13 points, arrives in Accra aiming to claim all three points and close in on the top positions. In contrast, Accra Lions find themselves in 16th place with just seven points, desperately needing a win to turn their season around.
Accra Lions, who managed a goalless draw with Legon Cities in their last fixture, are still seeking their second win of the season. The Lions have struggled with consistency, tallying one win, three losses, and four draws in their eight games.
Meanwhile, FC Samartex has been impressive, recording three wins in their last five outings. In their latest match, they secured a 1-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea. Despite their good form, Samartex has managed only one goal in their four away games this season, underscoring their struggles on the road.
Historically, Accra Lions have yet to beat FC Samartex, with Samartex winning three of their last four encounters and one ending in a 1-1 draw.
Kickoff for this anticipated matchup is scheduled for 6:00 pm (GMT).
