Nations FC vs Vision FC Prediction: Home turf advantage will be the difference

Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex will host the Ghanain Premier League encounter between Nations FC and Vision FC. This will be the first meeting between these sides. Which side secures a win in this fixture?

Nations FC are coming off a defeat against Medeama in their last league game, which ended 1-0. In that encounter, Bernadinho Tetteh’s strike was the difference, securing maximum points for their opponent. In the meantime, the prior encounters to that defeat saw Nations FC pull an unbeaten run of six matches, defeating Aduana Stars and Dreams FC. However, they were held to a draw by Bechem United, Young Apostles, Hearts of Oak, and Bibiani Gold Stars. This season, Nations FC have accumulated 10 points from a possible 21, leaving them seated 8th in the standings. 

Vision FC were held to a 1-1 draw by Bechem United in their last league game and will look to return to winning ways. In that game, Vision FC could not break the deadlock until the 86th minute through Edmond Asante’s strike, but a late-minute strike by Kofi Tompou denied them maximum points. However, the visiting team has an unbeaten run of three matches, winning Holy Stars and settling for a goalless draw with Hearts of Lions. This season, Vision FC have accumulated ten points from their first seven league games, same as their opponent, and sit 6th in the league standings. 

Vision FC have been good this season, but I do not see them picking a point in this game. With Nations FC coming off a league defeat, I expect them to take advantage of their home turf this time, having not lost in this venue this season. Also, while the home side is not a good offensive side, take a bet on a few goals, as 2-0 is a possible scoreline.
