Heart of Lions are desperate to stop the bleeding.
After three matches without victory, the Kpando-based side will be hoping to reignite their Ghana Premier League campaign when they welcome Swedru All Blacks to the Kpando Sports Stadium on Sunday.
A worrying dip in form has dragged Lions down to 12th place on 30 points, with just two wins in their last ten league matches — a run that has effectively crushed any lingering title dreams.
But head coach Bashiru Hayford is determined to halt the slide and steer his side back onto steady ground.
“We must respond,” Hayford is expected to demand as pressure builds around the club’s faltering campaign.
Once feared as a fortress, the Kpando Sports Stadium has offered little protection this season. Lions have managed only two wins in their last six home games, a statistic that underlines their struggle for consistency.
Yet their opponents arrive with problems of their own.
Swedru All Blacks sit 14th on the table, just two points behind Lions, and have also found victories hard to come by. The Swedru outfit have managed only two wins in their last ten matches and travel to Kpando with one of the league’s poorest away records — just two wins from 11 games on the road.
With both teams hovering dangerously close to the lower half of the table, Sunday’s encounter could turn into a tense survival battle.
For Heart of Lions, the message is simple: win — or risk sinking deeper into trouble.
