Accra Lions will host Nations FC at the University of Ghana Stadium on Saturday, hoping to return to winning ways in the Premier League after a difficult start to the season.
Lions are currently struggling, with just one win in 12 matches (D6, L5). The team, which finished second last season, is at the bottom of the table with just 9 points, having scored 7 goals and conceded 11.
However, Accra Lions have shown some resilience at home, remaining unbeaten in their last five home league games. They will be looking to secure only their second victory of the season on Saturday.
Nations FC, on the other hand, will be determined to bounce back after suffering their first-ever home defeat in the league, losing 1-0 to Berekum Chelsea on matchday 12. Despite the loss, Nations FC remains in strong form, sitting 2nd in the table with 22 points from their last five matches (W4, L1).
With 13 goals scored, the team boasts the highest tally in the league, while their defense has been equally impressive, conceding just 4 goals. Under Coach Kassim Mingle Ocansey, Nations FC has been the best away side in the league, and they will be eager to take all three points against Accra Lions.
The two sides have met just once at Accra Lions’ home ground since Nations FC’s promotion to the top flight, with Nations FC emerging victorious 1-0.
