When do the goals come?

The pattern varies by club, and the samples are small. API-Football records the minute for most goals, and we call those timed goals. Young Apostles have no timed goals for yet, and have conceded their 3 timed goals across several periods. Meanwhile, Heart of Lions have scored their only timed goal in the final quarter of an hour, and have conceded 1 timed goal in each of minutes 16 to 30 and minutes 61 to 75. Watching these periods helps to read the game, because a side can lose control quickly in its weakest spell.

Is there any team news?

API-Football lists no injuries or suspensions for either club, so we cannot confirm any absentees. Official line-ups are only confirmed on match day. Consequently, treat any predicted team as unconfirmed until the teams are announced. Our live scores page follows the game once it starts.

Which numbers matter most?

Young Apostles’ goal difference is minus 5, the worst in this pairing. However, Heart of Lions have only 1 goal scored and 2 conceded. In addition, the Lions have not won yet. Therefore, both teams have work to do, and the winner will gain real breathing space in the bottom half.

What is at stake in the table?

A Young Apostles win would take them to 6 points. Meanwhile, a Heart of Lions win would lift them to 5 points and out of the bottom three. Because the gaps are small, every point counts. See the latest order on the Ghana Premier League table and the Ghana Premier League fixtures page.
