Accra Great Olympics vs Samartex Prediction: A tough contest ahead

This Ghana Premier League match between Accra Great Olympics and Samartex will take place at Ohene Djan Sports Stadium. The squad playing at home had previously suffered defeat at the hands of King Faisal, whereas the Samartex side that will be traveling to this game is coming off of a victory against the team that is currently in first place.

Accra Great Olympics won one game against Accra Hearts of Oak, lost three games to Nsoatreman, Bechem United, and King Faisal, and tied three games against Dreams. During those encounters, Accra Great Olympics only managed to score two goals and gave up eight goals to their opponents. The current league season has resulted in an average of 0.8 goals scored per game by Accra Great Olympics. In terms of disciplinary action, the away team was given one red card and 28 yellow cards during their match at home. The Accra Great Olympics team seems to be adept at holding possession of the ball, as seen by their season-long average of 53.00% possession.

Samartex comes into this match having won three of their previous five matches against Legon City FC, Real Tamale United, and Aduana Stars while losing two of those matches to Medeama and Berekum Chelsea, respectively. The team was successful in scoring seven goals while also surrendering four. When Samartex played their games away from home, they had a goal scoring average of 0.75 and a goal against average of 0.7. In the most recent matches that the team played in, they were issued 19 yellow cards and one red card as a kind of disciplinary caution. Samartex has extremely strong possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 53.40% throughout this season.

The oddsmakers have the home club listed as the favorite, but I don't think that's a fair assessment because I think this match will be a tough and close one. In spite of the fact that they play on their own turf, I believe that this Samartex team is still superior to the opposition, and so either a win or a draw for Samartex in this match would be considered a successful outcome. In spite of the fact that we anticipate a lot of challenging performances from both teams, I believe that it will be difficult to score many goals in this match, which is why I will be betting on under 2.5 goals.
