Accra Lions vs Bibiani Gold Stars Prediction: A competitive encounter is expected

The Ghana Premier League match between Accra Lions and Bibiani Gold Stars is scheduled to take place at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium during the 26th round of games in the 2024/2024 season. As they approach this match, only one point differentiates these two teams in the standings, with the home team currently leading. Which team will secure maximum points in this encounter?

In their previous matches, the Accra Lions secured three wins against Accra Great Olympics, Medeama, and Bofoakwa Tano. However, they faced defeats in the other games within a span of five, against Real Tamale United and Heart of Lions, both being away matches. During these encounters, the Accra Lions only managed to score three goals while conceding three as well. Their average goals scored per match in the current league season stands at 1.12.

The Accra Lions seem to struggle with ball possession, averaging 49.88% possession this season. As they head into their next game, they hold the 8th position in the league standings with 36 points from 25 games, having scored 28 goals and conceded 31 this season.

Bibiani Gold Stars will go into this match with three wins in their last five league games. During this period, they defeated Bofoakwa Tano, Hearts of Oak, and Karela United, while their other matches against Real Tamale United and Heart of Lions ended in draws. As a result, Bibiani Gold Stars are now on a six-game unbeaten streak, including a win over Accra Great Olympics in another fixture. In these games, they scored 13 goals but also conceded seven.

In their away matches, Bibiani Gold Stars scored an average of 1.36 goals per game and conceded 1.2. The team has accumulated 50 yellow cards and 2 red cards due to disciplinary issues. Their ball possession has been less impressive, averaging 48.38% overall this season.

I believe this match is likely to end in a draw again. Both teams have been highly competitive recently, and they are expected to demonstrate quality in this match. Although neither team can afford to lose, I think they will opt for a draw instead, in a game where both sides have the potential to score.
