Prediction published on 07/09/2024, 02:44  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Ghanaian Premier League champions Samartex will open their title defence this Saturday, away to Dreams FC in Accra. Ahead of this fourth match between them, we have a preview and prediction ready.

In Dreams’ last two meetings with Samartex, they failed to win, with the most recent ending 2-2 at this same venue. They had suffered a 2-0 loss away from home in the first leg. Dreams had mixed fortunes last season, doing well in Africa but struggling at home.

In their first taste of continental action, they reached the CAF Confederations Cup semi-finals. Their journey was ended at home by Zamalek. Meanwhile, in the league, they couldn’t improve their performance from the previous season, finishing ninth – three places lower.

Their tally of 48 points matched the one for the 2022/23 campaign.

Samartex are going into their third season in the Ghanaian topflight having bagged the title last season. They finished with 61 points, 10 ahead of their closest challengers and 13 more than Dreams’.

Coming into this game, they’ve already played three matches and won all. After identical 1-0 wins against Cameroon’s Victoria United, Samartex are set to face Raja Casablanca in the next stage of their Champions League journey.

They also beat cup winners Nsoatreman 1-0 in the Super Cup last week and the champions look more than ready to start off the season. Samartex struggled a bit in their away matches last season, a stat they will want to correct here.

They actually have no win in seven straight league games on the road. In the last four they suffered consecutive defeats.
