Heart of Lions will look to rediscover their winning touch when they host title-chasing Medeama SC at the Kpando Sports Stadium on Saturday, December 27, in a clash that could shape both sides’ ambitions at opposite ends of the table.
The Kpando-based side have slipped to seventh after a five-game winless run, capped by a narrow 1–0 defeat to FC Samartex 1996.
Despite the dip in results, Bashir Hayford’s men remain one of the league’s most dangerous attacking outfits, with 17 goals scored and a solid defensive record to match.
Home comforts could prove decisive. Lions have lost just once in their last seven league games at Kpando, keeping six clean sheets in that stretch and conceding only a single goal.
They are also unbeaten in their last two home meetings with Medeama, a record they will hope sparks a turnaround.
Medeama arrive in confident mood and firmly in the title hunt. The Mauve and Yellow are unbeaten in 11 league matches, sit second on the table, and trail leaders Aduana FC by just a point with a game in hand.
Ibrahim Tanko’s side boast the league’s most potent attack and have been impressive on their travels.
With Lions desperate to stop the slide and Medeama eyeing top spot, Saturday’s encounter sets the stage for a high-stakes battle in Kpando.
