Lions have won 1, drawn twice and suffered 3 defeats. They are currently occupying 15th position with 5 points, scored 5 and conceded 7 in the process. Lions have recorded four points in their home games this season, (W1, D1, L1), and will be keen to bounce back to winning ways on Saturday at the capital when they host newbies Young Apostles.
Sine their thrilling 3-2 win over Aduana FC, Young Apostles have suffered two successive defeats, losing at Berekum Chelsea and at home to Hearts of Oak.
The Wenchi lads are currently 16th in the league table behind the host with same points accumulation, scored 5 and conceded 8 goals. Young Apostles have conceded the second highest goals so far (8).
