Accra Lions, who suffered a defeat against Hearts of Oak in their last match, will host struggling King Faisal at the Accra Sports Stadium. Despite the setback, the high-flying Lions will look to take advantage of their opponent's precarious position.
King Faisal, who recorded their eighth win of the season with a 3-2 victory over Karela United, won the first leg encounter against Accra Lions 2-1 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. They currently sit in 16th place with 28 points, having won two, drawn two, and lost one of their last five matches.
The return of Dominic Nsobila and Abass Samari Salifu from the Black Meteors will be a boost for them, along with the efforts of young players Dominic Amponsah and Richmond Sackey. They also have experienced players like Baba Yahaya, William Denkyi, Abdul Latif, Benjamin Bature, and Joseph Adu Dwomoh to call upon.
On the other hand, Accra Lions dropped to fifth place in the league table with two wins, two losses, and one draw in their last five matches.
However, they still have the advantage of a game in hand. The Lions will hope to bounce back with a win against King Faisal, whom they defeated in the first leg.
The match will kick off at 3 pm.
