Accra Lions are set to host Bechem United in a highly anticipated clash at the capital on Saturday, May 25, 2024, marking matchday-31 of the Ghana Premier League.
After a narrow 1-0 loss to Nations FC in their previous match, Lions are determined to bounce back to winning form, while Bechem United, fresh from a convincing 3-1 victory against Karela United, aim to maintain their momentum.
With both teams tied on 44 points from 30 matches, the encounter promises to be fiercely competitive as they vie for a strong finish with only four games remaining.
Accra Lions, boasting 12 wins, 8 draws, and 10 defeats this season, are positioned seventh in the table, while Bechem United, currently sixth, have had a somewhat underwhelming season compared to their stellar third-place finish last year.
In their home turf, Accra Lions have been formidable, accumulating 28 points from 15 games and remaining unbeaten in their last six consecutive home league matches, without conceding a goal.
Meanwhile, Bechem United, although ranked as the fifth best away performers in the league, have struggled away from home, failing to secure a win in their last six consecutive away matches.
In their head-to-head encounters, Accra Lions have maintained an unbeaten record against Bechem United since their return to the top-flight in the 2021/22 season, with a victory and a draw in their two meetings.
With star players like Mohammed Yahaya, Dominic Amponsah, and Cephas Mantey, both teams are poised for an exhilarating showdown, showcasing their talent and determination on the field.
