This Sunday, Bibiani Gold Stars will embark on their first away trip of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season as they face Heart of Lions at the Kpando Stadium.
Gold Stars, currently leading the league, will aim to maintain their flawless start, having won all their games so far.
Match Preview
The miners, coached by Frimpong Manso, are one of only two teams in the league with a 100% record. After impressive victories in their opening fixtures, they will be eager to continue their fine form on the road. However, Manso expressed concerns about the grueling travel schedule, as his team faces consecutive away matches. Following their trip to Kpando, Gold Stars will travel to Sameraboi for a midweek clash, which the coach believes will impact his players’ recovery.
Meanwhile, Heart of Lions are coming off a strong showing in their recent fixtures. After a home victory over Hearts of Oak, the Lions secured a hard-fought draw away against Dreams FC. They have picked up four points from their last two matches and sit third in the standings, just behind their opponents.
Sunday’s encounter will be a crucial test for both teams, with Heart of Lions looking to build on their solid start and Gold Stars aiming to keep their lead at the top of the table. It promises to be a closely contested match between two sides in good form.
