Legon Cities vs Hearts of Oak Prediction: A low scoring game is expected

At Dawu Sports Stadium, Legon Cities will play host to Hearts of Oak in game 27 of the Ghana Premier League. In their last meeting, both sides settled for a goalless draw. Will there be a winner in this encounter?

Legon Cities will come into this game hoping to get back to winning ways following a defeat at the hands of Medeama in their last game. However, that defeat is now Legon Cities' second in their previous five, one other coming against Bechem United. However, Legon Cities were able to secure wins over both Bechem United in their home game and one other against Nsoatreman, while they played to a draw with Samartex. In the meantime, it is worth noting that Legon Cities have not lost a single home game since the beginning of this year. Heading into this game, Legon Cities have accumulated as many as 32 points from 25 games this season, positioning them 13th in the league standings.

Hearts of Oak got the best of Karela United last weekend, securing a big 3-1 win at home. In that game, Hearts of Oak had to come from behind to win, with Hamza Issah leveling the scores for them after Humid Dafie had put Karela United in the lead. However, Salim Adams put Hearts of Oak in the lead in the 64th minute of the second half of the game before Hamza Issah got his second of the day from the spot. In the meantime, prior to that win, Hearts of Oak went three games that ended in losses, coming against Samartex, Bibiani Gold Stars, and Medeama. Hearts of Oak have scored four goals in their last four games while conceding six in that same span.

The last five times these two sides met, Legon Cities won one, while the remaining four ended in draws. Hearts of Oak scored one goal, while Legon Cities scored two.

The two teams have not been outstanding this season, and they will hope for a better performance here to improve their season record. While Hearts of Oak have struggled mainly on the road with losses in recent road encounters, the hosts are unbeaten in almost eight home matches. With the matches between these sides ending in mostly draws and few goals, I believe the two sides will also settle for a similar outcome here.
