The 2022/23 Ghana Premier League returns from a short World Cup break with an epic week 9 tie between Accra Lions and newbies, Samartex FC at the Red Bull Arena this afternoon.
The game originally should have been honoured in the capital but had to be shifted to Sogakope due to the NSA decision to close down the Ohene Gyan Stadium for renovation.
The Lions went into the breeder on an abysmal note, after losing their last two matches to loose the top spot to Aduana Stars.
After losing at home to giants Hearts of Oak, James Francis men topped it up with a 2-1 loss to King Faisal in Kumasi, and currently sitting 2nd on the league log with 15 points.
On the opposition end, Samartex begun picking their rythym with two straight victories to climb up and enhance their position on the table.
Two consecutive victories over Kotoku Royals at away and over Karela United in Samaboi has now gotten them from danger to the 13th place with ten points.
TEAM NEWS
Both teams have no any major Injuries at hand, heading into this tricky clash.
KICKOFF: 1500GMT (3:00pm)
