Legon Cities are gearing up to host Hearts of Oak in a highly anticipated clash on matchday-27 of the Ghana Premier League at the Theatre of Dreams in Dawu on Saturday.

After securing a comeback 3-1 victory over Karela United last weekend, Hearts of Oak are eager to extend their winning momentum. The Phobians currently sit 9th on the league table, with 35 points from 26 games.

On the other hand, Legon Cities, positioned 13th on the table, have amassed 32 points from 26 matches. Coach Samuel Kwesi Fabin’s side boasts an impressive home record, having picked up 24 points from 12 league home games. The Royals are undefeated in their last 8 home league matches.

However, Hearts of Oak have faced setbacks in their recent away encounters, suffering defeats against league leaders FC Samartex 1996 and defending champions Medeama SC.
