The 2024/25 Ghana Premier League has experienced a notable shake-up in the standings following the completion of Round 24 matches, except for the postponed game between Basake Holy Stars and Nsoatreman FC. The latest results have affected both the top and bottom of the league table as teams continue their quest for glory or survival.
Kotoko Maintains Top Spot, Gold Stars, and Heart of Lions in Pursuit
League leaders Kotoko settled for a 1-1 draw against Samartex, bringing their total points to 38. Despite dropping two points, they remain at the top, maintaining a narrow lead over Gold Stars and Heart of Lions, both of whom have 37 points. Gold Stars missed the opportunity to overtake Kotoko after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Aduana Stars, while Heart of Lions took advantage of Karela United’s struggles with a 1-0 victory.
Hearts of Oak’s title ambitions suffered a setback as they lost 1-0 at home to Dreams FC, leaving them in fourth place with 36 points. Nations FC, with a 2-1 win against Medeama, strengthened their position in the top five, now boasting 35 points.
LCFC Moves Out of Relegation Zone, Accra Lions in Deep Trouble
At the bottom of the table, Legon Cities FC’s 2-1 win over Berekum Chelsea proved crucial as they climbed out of the relegation zone with 23 points. Karela United, however, remains in serious trouble after their loss to Heart of Lions, keeping them in 17th place with 18 points.
Accra Lions FC continued to struggle, falling 1-0 to Young Apostles FC, which keeps them at the bottom of the table with just 16 points. With only a few games remaining, they must quickly find their form to avoid relegation.
As the league progresses, every match becomes increasingly vital, with the race for the title and survival intensifying. The postponed fixture between Basake Holy Stars and Nsoatreman FC could further impact the standings once it is played.
