Heart of Lions take on Young Apostles in a crucial encounter as they remain in the race for the Ghana Premier League title.

The Lions, led by two-time champion coach Bashir Hayford, sit third on the league table and travel to face a Young Apostles side battling relegation.

Heart of Lions have won three of their last four matches and know another win would keep their title hopes alive.

"These last three matches, we need some points to still be in contention of the league so the expectation is that we try and get the win there and then we will see for the last two matches if we will be on contention for the league," Bashir said.

"It is going to be a tough match, they are also planning to avoid relegation so it is going to be a very difficult match. We are going to make sure that we get a win there so that we will be in contention for the league."

With only three games to go, every point is now crucial for both teams.
