Struggling Accra Lions will be hoping to return to winning ways when they host newly-promoted Basake Holy Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, April 12, 2024, in a crucial Ghana Premier League fixture.
Last season’s runners-up have endured a torrid campaign, finding themselves 16th on the table and deep in relegation danger. With just 23 points from 25 matches, the Lions have managed only two wins in their last five games, alongside a draw and two defeats. They’ve also conceded 27 goals—the joint third most in the league—and scored 18.
Their home form has also been unimpressive, recording four wins, five draws, and three defeats at the Accra Sports Stadium, making them the weakest home side in the division heading into this round.
Basake Holy Stars, on the other hand, have shown promise since their promotion, currently sitting 12th with 30 points from 25 games. Despite this, Abdul Gazale’s men are one of the league’s poorest travelers, having won just once on the road, drawn twice, and lost nine.
In their last five league outings, the Aiyinase-based club has picked up two wins and three defeats. They’ve scored 27 goals—the joint-most in the league—but have also conceded 27, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities.
This fixture marks the first-ever Premier League meeting between Accra Lions and Basake Holy Stars in Accra, setting the stage for an intriguing encounter as both teams seek to climb the standings.
