GPL: Hearts of Oak vs Legon Cities Preview

Hearts of Oak will seek to continue their winning momentum when they host bottom-placed Legon Cities at the University of Ghana Stadium on Friday night.

The match marks their first encounter in eight months, with their previous clash ending in a 2-0 victory for Legon Cities.

The Phobians are on a high after securing back-to-back wins against Accra Lions and Berekum Chelsea in their last two outings. These victories have propelled them to 6th place in the standings with 25 points from 15 matches.

Legon Cities find themselves at the bottom of the table with just 11 points from 15 matches. They are currently enduring a four-game losing streak, with defeats to Aduana Stars, Nations, Bechem United, and Hearts of Lions compounding their woes.

Their porous defence, which has allowed goals in ten consecutive away matches, remains a glaring weakness.

With contrasting forms and ambitions, the match promises to be a fascinating encounter under the floodlights at the University of Ghana Stadium. Hearts of Oak will be determined to continue their winning streak, while Legon Cities will fight tooth and nail to salvage their season.
