Legon Cities seek lifeline in crucial clash against Samartex

Legon Cities face a crucial match against Samartex 1996 on Sunday. They are deep in the relegation zone and need a win. The game will take place at the University of Ghana Stadium.

Currently, Legon Cities sit 17th in the Ghana Premier League. They have only 22 points from 25 games. Their record shows six wins, four draws, and 15 losses. With the season nearing its end, they have little room for error.

Their home form has been better than their away performance. All six victories this season came at home. This includes a notable win over Asante Kotoko on matchday six.

However, they have also drawn four and lost four matches at home. On the road, their record is poor: no wins, two draws, and 11 losses. In their last five matches, they earned just five points.

Legon Cities dropped points against Accra Lions, Karela United, and Young Apostles. These results hurt their chances of survival.

Samartex is currently six points off the top four positions. The reigning champions have had a mixed season so far. They have drawn more games (11) than they’ve won (8).

Their away form has not been strong either. They have only two wins in 12 away matches (W2 D6 L4). However, they come into this match motivated by a recent 2-0 victory over Accra Lions.

Samartex hopes to secure back-to-back wins against Legon Cities this season. They previously defeated them 1-0 at home on matchday 10.

Legon Cities are three points behind Karela United in 15th place. They will be watching Karela's upcoming fixture against Aduana FC closely.

For Legon Cities, this match is about survival in the league. For Samartex, it’s an opportunity to improve their away record and move closer to the top four.

Kick-off is set for 15:00 GMT at the University of Ghana Stadium.
