Ghana Premier League Matchday 9 preview: AshantiGold v Liberty Professionals

Published on: 07 February 2020

AshantiGold aim to get back to winning ways after settling for a 0-0 draw with Hearts of Oak on matchday 8.

AshantiGold are experiencing a downturn in form. The Miners have only won once in their last five games after winning their opening three games of the season. The Obuasi-based side are however in the top four with 14 points in total, just three points away from the top of the table.

They also possess the meanest defence in the league by far, conceding just two goals in eight matches. Their goal tally however needs some improvement. AshantiGold have scored just seven times during this period, the joint worst among the current top six.

Liberty Professionals have been average since the start of the season. The Scientific Soccer Lads have earned 10 points and are in 10th place after eight matches. David Ocloo’s side require a huge boost in their next game after winning one of their last four matches.

The Dansoman based side are not lacking in goals with 10 scored so far but they have shipped in just as much signaling the need for some work in defence. They will hope to cause an upset at the Len Clay Sports Stadium on Sunday.

The two teams have been pretty even in their last six meetings. AshantiGold have won three of them and so have Liberty Professionals. The Scientific Soccer Lads have however failed to beat AshantiGold at the Len Clay Sports Stadium in nine years. They will hope to break the curse.
