2023/24 Ghana Premier League: Week 27 Match Preview - Heart of Lions v Nations FC
Heart of Lions will welcome high-flying Nations to the Kpando Stadium for the matchday 27 of the Ghana Premier League.
The host will be hoping to bounce back from the defeat to Aduana Stars last week when they face Nations FC on Sunday.
Lions have been in dismal form in their last five games, winning one, drawing one and losing three games across the period, but they come up against Nations FC, who has been impressive in their debut Ghana Premier League campaign.
The home team will be hoping to secure maximum points in the crucial encounter but Nations FC appears to be a stronger opponent.
With 25 points, Lions find themselves in the relegation drop after 26 games into the campaign. They are currently 17th on the league standings and must play above themselves to escape the drop at the end of the campaign.
Nations FC, on the other hand, have suffered one defeat in their last five games, drawing one and winning three, keeping their Premier League title hopes alive.
The Abrankese-based club cannot afford to drop points as they battle for the league title this season.
Coach Kasim Ocansey Mingles outfit sit second in the Ghana Premier League table, just five points adrift of leaders Samartex, who takes on embattled Asante Kotoko this weekend.
Nations FC will have to negotiate for points and wait for the outcome of Samartex game against Kotoko.
They will have the chance to close the gap should Samartex suffer defeat against the Porcupine Warriors, who are brimming with confident after meeting the life patron of the club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
It promises to be a thrilling encounter in Kpando, as both teams will be yearning for maximum points.
