After both side’s putting up a shambolic performance in the ongoing Premier League, cellar dwellers Nsoatreman will lock horns with Legon Cities on Sunday afternoon at the Nana Amoah Koronmansa Park in Nsoatre.
Yaw Preko’a men made life incredibly difficult for themselves against Asante Kotoko in a top flight outstanding match against Asante Kotoko which they eventually succumbed by one goal to nothing, while the Royals were 2-0 losers against Karela United.
Match Preview
The Ghana Premier League has been the sole focus so far this season, and it’s been a mixed start to the new campaign. Nsoatreman opened with a 2-0 against newly-promoted Young Apostles, and are yet to get their first win of the season. But Legon Cities have also been poor this season, losing 2-1 to Bibiani Goldstars before suffering a 1-0 loss against Medeama.
Nsoatreman are in their third season as a Premier League side, but it was a rocky campaign last season. Fresh off the back of a top-five finish, Nonetheless, it was a good season.
This season, however, hasn’t started well. Although, Preko has been backed by the club which is yet to pay off.
Nsoatreman scored six goals in their six games against Legon Cities in the Ghana Premier League since 2023. Overall, Nsoatreman have won 2 of their 6 games against Legon Cities, with just two victories for the Royals as well.
Team News
There are no injury issues in both side’s, as Yaw Preko and Paa Kwasi Fabin will be out aiming to rebound from their abysmal showing in the ongoing campaign.
Nsoatreman possible starting lineup:
Acquah (G), Rahman, Amoo, Anokye, Diyou, Fuseini, Issaka, Kwabena, Osei Bonsu, Sekyere, Tsivanyo.
Legon Cities possible starting lineup:
Aziz (G), Akoto (C), Quartey, Kamal, Alidu, Tagoe, Sumaila, Gyesi, J. Amoah, I. Amoah, Twum.
We say: Nsoatreman 2-0 Legon Cities
In spite of Nsoatreman’s lackadaisical attacking displays so far this season, they should not be short of chances to carve Cities open.
Preko’s men should therefore find their way through at least once, and a first-choice defence can then keep a depleted Royals frontline at bay.
