Defending league champions FC Samartex 1996 welcome Heart of Lions to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Saturday.
Samartex inconsistencies appears to have derailed their Premier League title defence ambition despite being in the race for the ultimate crown.
They’ve won 2, drawn 1 and suffered 2 consecutive defeats in their last five league matches. They are currently 9th in the table with 17 points, having scored 9 and conceded 7. Nurudeen Amadu’s men are among the clubs with the most home wins in the league this season (4).
In-form Heart of Lions edged Legon Cities 3-0 to secure 3rd place in the league table with 21 points. They are unbeaten in the last five outings (W4, D1), having scored 11 and conceded the second joint-least goals in the league (4). The Kpando lads shared the points in a goalless draw in their last away fixture.
FC Samartex 1996 have played Heart of Lions once at home in the league since the Kpando lads gained promotion back into the Premier League last season with the Timber Giants winning 2-0.
