In a highly anticipated Ghana Premier League fixture, in-form Accra Lions are set to host relegation-threatened Bofoakwa Tano at the Accra Sports Stadium this Saturday.
Accra Lions have been on a remarkable run of form in the second round of the league, securing victories in four out of six matches. Their recent triumph over champions Medeama SC showcased their resilience, bouncing back from a defeat to Real Tamale United earlier in the season. This will be their first home game at the Accra Sports Stadium since November last year, adding an extra layer of anticipation for the fans.
On the other hand, Bofoakwa Tano finds themselves fighting to avoid relegation in their first campaign back in the top flight after 16 years in the lower tiers. With only two wins in their last five matches, they sit precariously in 16th place on the table, eight spots behind their opponents.
Key players to watch out for in the Accra Lions squad include Daniel Awuni, Dominic Amponsah, Blessing Asuman, and Yahaya Mohammed, who have been instrumental in the team’s recent scoring spree.
Accra Lions’ recent performances, including a stunning 5-0 victory over Bechem United and an impressive win against Asante Kotoko, have cemented their status as a formidable force in the league.
Meanwhile, Bofoakwa Tano will be banking on the experience of players like Kelvin Oppong and Saaka Dauda, their captain, to navigate through this challenging encounter.
With the first leg ending in a 1-1 draw in Sunyani, both teams will be aiming to secure a crucial victory in this second encounter. As the stakes are high, fans can expect an intense battle between these two sides at the Accra Sports Stadium.
