Heart of Lions will travel to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Saturday, December 14, to take on defending champions FC Samartex in a Week 13 Ghana Premier League clash.
The Volta-based Lions are in scintillating form, riding a five-game unbeaten streak with four wins. Sitting third on the table with 21 points—just two points off the summit—Bashir Hayford’s men are proving to be formidable opponents. Their resilience has been on display against heavyweights like Aduana FC, Hearts of Oak, and Asante Kotoko, emerging unscathed in those encounters..
In stark contrast, FC Samartex are enduring a challenging season. The Timber Giants, led by Nurudeen Amadu, have suffered consecutive defeats, slipping to ninth place with 17 points. They will be desperate to end their slump and find inspiration against the Lions.
