Accra Lions will face Hearts of Oak at the WAFA Park on Sunday, December 29, 2024, as they look to reignite their faltering Premier League campaign.
Lions have struggled this season, a stark contrast to their impressive second-place finish last year. With only 13 points from their matches so far, they have scored 8 goals and conceded 11. In their last five outings, they have managed just one win, two draws, and two losses. However, their home form offers some hope, remaining unbeaten in their last five games with one win and four consecutive draws.
Hearts of Oak, meanwhile, enter the match with momentum following a commanding 3-1 victory over Berekum Chelsea. The Phobians bounced back strongly from their loss to rivals Asante Kotoko and are now eyeing another win.
Hearts have won three, drawn one, and lost one in their last five league games, climbing to 6th on the table with 22 points. They have scored 12 goals and conceded 8, making them the third-best away side in the league this season.
History favors Hearts of Oak in this fixture. They have won all three of their away league games against Accra Lions since the 2021/22 season. This includes a 3-0 victory in 2021/22, a 3-1 win in 2022/23, and a 2-1 triumph last season.
As the Lions seek to end their winless streak against the Phobians, Hearts of Oak aim to continue their dominance and strengthen their league position.
