After a defeat in their opening game of the season, Legon Cities seek revival when they host Medeama SC in what will be a herculean clash in the second round of matches of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League.
The Royals will be playing at the University of Ghana Stadium- their newly-adopted home venue for the season. The facility was commissioned into use in March this year and was mainly used for the 13th African Games and has a capacity of 11,000.
Whiles Legon Cities have their sights set on nothing but a win, Medeama SC will also look to deepen the woes of the homesters and continue with their perfect start.
MATCH PREVIEW
The capital-based side started their campaign with a visit to Goldstars at the Dun's Park where they succumbed to a painful 2-1 loss after full time.
Kumi Atta opened the scoring account in just three minutes from kickoff for the homesters before Dennis Adoma brought the visitors back on level terms just two minutes from recess.
Just and when Legon Cities thought of earning a vital point in Bibiani, Gideon Anaba scored with seventeen minutes to full time to seal the win for the hosts and will definitely seek to get themselves back on winning path this time around.
On the opposition side, the Mauves and Yellows recorded a precious 1-0 win over Accra Lions- definitely the explosive start they were looking to mark their return to the new TnA Stadium for the first time since 2019 in style.
