The 2024/25 Ghana Premier League is reaching a crucial stage as the title race intensifies. With only a point separating league leaders Asante Kotoko and third-placed Hearts of Oak, every match from this point forward carries immense significance. Bibiani Gold Stars are also firmly in the mix, level on points with Kotoko, setting up a thrilling weekend of football as round 24 is concerned.
Saturday Fixtures: Kotoko and Hearts of Oak in the Spotlight
The action kicks off on Saturday, March 15, with two headline fixtures. League leaders Asante Kotoko travel to face Samartex in a tricky away fixture. Kotoko, who sit at the summit with 37 points, will be aiming for a crucial victory to maintain their lead. However, Samartex, currently in 9th place with 27 points, will look to play spoilers and climb further up the table.
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak, who are just a point behind Kotoko with 36 points, take on Dreams FC. The Phobians will be determined to keep their title push alive, knowing that a slip-up could allow Bibiani Gold Stars to open the gap if they win their match. Dreams FC, sitting just outside the relegation zone, will also be fighting for survival, making this a high-stakes encounter.
