Current form

Legon Cities

They are lying at the bottom of the Ghana Premier League table, with just three points.

The Accra side have recorded just two goals and they were both from the spot-kick, so they are yet to score a goal from open play this season.

The Royals remain the only side without a win this season.

This is Legon Cities worst start to the Ghana Premier League after seven league games (D3,L4)

They have drawn two and lost one of their three home league games.

Legon Cities marksman Asamoah Gyan is still yet to make his first start of the season.

Gyan was sidelined for some weeks due to injuries, but he has returned to training and is expected to make the matchday squad for this game.

The Sogakope boys, despite being one of the teams with most goals, have also let in as many as 10 goals:

WAFA’s marksman is Daniel Lomotey and he is the leading top scorer in the league with 7 goals. Only King Faisal (15 goals) and Elmina Sharks (11 goals), have conceded more than them.
