Ghana Premier League final day preview: Here’s what’s at stake

The Ghana Premier League reaches its dramatic climax on Sunday, June 8, with everything still to play for across eight venues. From the title race to relegation battles, this final matchday promises thrills, heartbreak, and history-making moments.

Nations FC hold a slender advantage at the top, leading Gold Stars FC only on goal difference after 33 matches. The title chasers face contrasting challenges that could decide Ghana's champion.

Nations FC versus Heart of Lions looks the trickier fixture. Nations FC have been the season's standout team with 18 wins, 40 goals scored, and just 16 conceded, which is easily the best defensive record. However, they face a Heart of Lions side sitting fourth with 57 points and needing a result to secure continental football.

Meanwhile, Gold Stars FC versus Accra Lions presents what appears a more straightforward task. The Miners sit second with 60 points and boast an impressive home record at Dun's Park - 11 wins from 16 matches. Their opponents, Accra Lions, are fighting for Premier League survival with just 35 points, three above the drop zone.
