Nations FC will visit Samartex in their next fixture hoping to scale upward in the Ghanaian Premier League standings. The two sides face off on Sunday with hosts Samartex at the summit while Nations are fifth. Samartex, with 35 points, hold a five-point lead going into this game. This will be their first home match in three outings and they’ll be targeting a fourth straight win. Coming into this game, they beat second placed Aduana Stars 2-1 to take a massive step in the title race. Their run of wins was only disrupted by Bibiani Gold Stars, who shockingly beat them 3-0 in December. Coming into this game they have five wins in six matches and are in a very strong position. Each of their last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals and at home, they are unbeaten in 13. Samartex have eight straight home wins ahead of this encounter.

Like Samartex, Nations are also coming from a key win. They beat third placed Nsoatreman 4-1 in their last outing. That was a well needed recovery after having lost 3-0 away to Bechem United. The loss to Bechem United marked the only time they failed to score in nine matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four matches, three of which had both teams scoring. Nations FC haven't had a great away run in their recent matches. They come into this game with just two wins in the last 10 away matches, and all the rest ended in defeat. The visitors will in this game hope to improve on their scoring run when playing away from home especially. In seven of their last 10 away matches, they failed to score.
