Heart of Lions take on Karela United at the Kpando Sports Stadium on Sunday, aiming to bounce back to winning ways after their recent draw against Vision FC.
They have been solid this season, with nine wins, seven draws, and just four losses in 20 games. However, defensive lapses have been an issue, as they have conceded in their last five matches.
Karela United, on the other hand, have struggled this season, winning only four matches while losing ten. Goals have been hard to come by, with just 11 scored in 20 games. Their defense has also been shaky, conceding in each of their last eight matches. They come into this game after drawing with Basake Holy Stars, marking their second game without defeat.
Karela have had the edge in recent meetings, winning two of the last three encounters, including a 1-0 victory in their last match. However, Lions have been the stronger side this season and will be determined to get a result at home. With both teams having defensive concerns, this match could be decided by who takes their chances better on the day.
