2024/25 Ghana Premier League: Legon Cities vs Bechem United - Preview, Team News, Lineups, Kickoff Time, Prediction

Legon Cities FC will be desperate to turn their fortunes around when they face in-form Bechem United this Saturday at the University of Ghana Stadium as the Ghana Premier League resumes after a two-week break.

Match Preview

The Royals come into this match reeling from two consecutive disappointing results. Their FA Cup campaign ended prematurely two weeks ago when they were stunned by second-tier side Home Stars at home. This was followed by a heavy 3-0 defeat to Heart of Lions in their last league outing at the Kpando Sports Stadium. These setbacks have left Cities sitting in the relegation zone, making Saturday’s game a must-win for their hopes of avoiding the drop.

On the other hand, Bechem United will be full of confidence as they approach this encounter. The Hunters are unbeaten in their last seven league matches and have won their last three, including impressive away victories over Asante Kotoko SC and Berekum Chelsea. Their excellent form has also extended to other competitions, with four consecutive victories in all matches. Currently sitting 5th on the league table, Bechem will be eager to continue their rise and could move to the top with a win, depending on other results.

For Legon Cities, this game is a critical opportunity for redemption, and they will be relying on their home supporters to help them get back on track. Meanwhile, Bechem United will look to extend their strong run and inch closer to the summit of the league.

Team News

Both teams are expected to field strong squads. For Legon Cities, the focus will be on stabilizing their shaky defense and finding goals to secure a much-needed win. Bechem United, on the other hand, will aim to maintain their winning momentum with their disciplined setup and clinical attack.
