Struggling Accra Lions entertain Hearts of Oak at the WAFA Park desperate to get back to winning ways in the Premier on Sunday, December 29, 2024.

Lions have endured a difficult season so far - a far cry of the side's impressive second-placed finished last season. 

They’ve amassed 13 points, having scored 8 and conceded 11.

Lions have won 1, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the last five outings. They are unbeaten in their last five home league games with 1 win and 4 consecutive draws prior to this encounter.

Hearts of Oak recovered from their defeat to eternal rivals Asante Kotoko after thrashing Berekum Chelsea 3-1 at home  last weekend.

The Phobians have won 3, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the last five league matches.

They are currently occupying the 6th position in the table with 22 points, having scored 12 and conceded 8.

They are the third best away side this season and will hope to secure all the spoils on Sunday over an Accra Lions side that they’ve beaten three consecutive times away from home since 2021.

Accra Lions have played Hearts of Oak three times at home in the league since 2021/22 season with Accra Lions losing all.

In the 2021/22 season, Accra Lions lost 0-3 to Hearts of Oak, suffered a 1-3 defeat in the 2022/23 season and lost 1-2 in the 2023/24.
