Heart of Lions will aim to maintain their impressive home form when they welcome Dreams FC to the Kpando Sports Stadium on Wednesday for a Ghana Premier League showdown.
Match Preview
Heart of Lions head into this clash with confidence after securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Karela United last Sunday. The win marked their tenth league victory of the season, lifting them to third place in the standings with 37 points.
Bashiru Hayford’s side has been dominant at home, boasting the second-best home record in the league. They have suffered just one defeat in 11 matches at the Kpando Sports Stadium (W8, D2, L1) and will be determined to extend that impressive streak against Dreams FC.
Meanwhile, Dreams FC travel to Kpando on the back of a crucial 1-0 victory over Hearts of Oak, ending the Phobians’ seven-game unbeaten run. Despite that win, Abdul Karim Zito’s side remains in 13th place with 24 points from 21 matches.
Dreams FC have struggled for goals, scoring the fewest in the league (11), while conceding 16. However, their solid defensive record and recent form (W2, D2, L1 in their last five matches) suggest they could pose a challenge for the home side.
This will be the second time Heart of Lions host Dreams FC since their return to the Premier League last season. Their previous encounter at Kpando ended in a 1-0 win for Heart of Lions.
