Relegation-threatened Hohoe United return to the Hohoe Sports Stadium on Sunday determined to build on last weekend’s resilient display when they host FC Samartex 1996 in a crucial Ghana Premier League Matchday 24 fixture.
The Volta-based side earned a morale-boosting point away at Aduana FC in Dormaa Ahenkro, holding the former champions to a goalless draw.
That result highlighted their fighting spirit, but it did little to ease their precarious position on the table.
Hohoe remain second from bottom and have managed just one victory in their last ten league matches – a run that has left them in desperate need of maximum points as the survival battle intensifies.
Backed by their home supporters, Hohoe will hope the Hohoe Sports Stadium becomes a fortress in the final stretch of the campaign.
Avoiding defeat is no longer enough; three points are essential to spark momentum and climb out of danger.
Standing in their way are former champions, Samartex, who still harbour ambitions of closing the gap on the frontrunners.
The Timber Giants sit sixth on the log, and victory on Sunday could propel them into fourth place, keeping them firmly in the title conversation.
However, Samartex’s away form presents a concern. They have won just once in their last eleven league matches on the road, a statistic Hohoe will draw confidence from.
With survival and title aspirations intersecting, Sunday’s clash promises tension, intensity, and high stakes at both ends of the table.
