Struggling Legon Cities will look to build momentum when they welcome newly promoted Vision FC to the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on Wednesday for a crucial Ghana Premier League clash.
Match Preview
Legon Cities ended a two-game losing streak with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Berekum Chelsea in their last outing. The win provided a much-needed boost as they continue their battle to escape the relegation zone. The Royals currently sit 16th in the league with 20 points and will be aiming for consecutive league wins for the first time since January.
Despite their struggles, Cities have been solid at home, winning their last three games at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. However, their defensive frailties remain a concern, having conceded the most goals in the league this season (29).
Vision FC, on the other hand, have also struggled for consistency. They suffered their third defeat in five games last weekend, falling 2-0 away to Bechem United. The Tema-based side sits just three points above the relegation zone with 23 points from 21 matches.
Vision FC’s defensive record is another area of concern, as they have conceded 24 goals—the second joint most in the league. Their away form has been poor, with three losses and two draws in their last five outings, making them the fifth weakest away side in the division.
This will be the first time Legon Cities host Vision FC in the Premier League since the latter gained promotion this season, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the fixture.
