Kotoko, Goldstars, Nations FC in contention for league honours tomorrow
The curtain will officially be lowered on the 2024-25 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season tomorrow with all final round fixtures set to kick off simultaneously at 3pm.
With the title race, top-four finish, and final standings on the line, fans can expect a dramatic and action-packed conclusion to what has been a compelling campaign.
In Accra, Hearts of Oak will be aiming to secure a top-four finish as they welcome FC Samartex 1996 to the Accra Sports Stadium. The Phobians, buoyed by recent form, are eager to end the season on a high in front of their home fans.
Accra Lions face a daunting away trip to Bibiani, where they will take on title-chasing, Gold Stars FC, in a crucial fixture with Premier League implications. Gold Stars, locked in a tight title race, know that only a win will keep their hopes alive.
Dreams FC, safe in mid-table, will host relegated Legon Cities in what is expected to be a low-stakes encounter.
In another intriguing matchup, Bechem United square off with Young Apostles at the Nana Gyeabour Park, while Aduana FC will look to finish strong as they host Basake Holy Stars at the Nana Agyemang Badu I Park.
The spotlight, however, will be firmly on Nations FC, who remain firmly in the title picture. They host Heart of Lions in a must-win fixture that could decide the destiny of the league crown.
Elsewhere, Medeama SC welcome Berekum Chelsea to the TnA Stadium in Tarkwa.
Vision FC, who have impressively retained their top-flight status in their debut season, will host Asante Kotoko at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex. –Ghanafa.org
