Heart of Lions are set to face a challenging test this weekend when they take on FC Samartex in the Ghana Premier League.
The two teams will clash in a Week 31 fixture on Sunday, May 26.
Heart of Lions’ return to the Ghana Premier League has been difficult. Despite their efforts, they have struggled to compete, particularly against stronger teams. However, in their last five matches, the team from Kpando has shown improvement, securing three wins, one draw, and one loss. Currently, after 30 matches, they have 35 points and are positioned just above the relegation zone.
On the other hand, FC Samartex has been the standout team this season. They sit at the top of the league table with 55 points from 30 matches. Despite some inconsistency in their recent form, with three wins in their last five matches, they have maintained their lead in the standings.
The only previous encounter between these two teams in the Ghana Premier League ended in a 2-0 victory for Samartex FC, which took place earlier this season.
The match between Heart of Lions and FC Samartex is scheduled for Sunday, May 26, at the Kpando Sports Complex. Kickoff is at 15:00 GMT.
