The Boxing Day fixture on matchday 16 of the Ghana Premier League will witness two of the three least scoring sides of the campaign as Hearts of Oak play host to Samartex. This match on Friday in Accra between the fourth-placed “Arose” and the sixth-placed “Timber Giants” comes with our prediction of less than 1.5 goals.
Ahead of this matchday, the Hearts are fourth with 25 points (W6, D7, L2) and are three points behind leaders Aduana Stars. Samartex have 24 points (W8, D6, L3) and are closely following their hosts. With the teams from first to eighth separated by only five points, the title race is shaping up well.
A 0-0 away draw at Aduana Stars last weekend gave the Hearts a seventh draw of the season. Wins have dried up in recent times, with only two coming across their last seven league games (D3, L2).
Despite those worrying numbers, the Hearts have won their last two home league games, each by a 1-0 scoreline. With five clean sheets across their seven home league games this season, their defensive record has been impressive.
Samartex won 1-0 at home against the Hearts of Lions last weekend for a second win in three games (L1). Those remain their only victories over the last six league fixtures, so the visitors still need to pick up momentum.
