GPL Preview: Nations FC target first away win against struggling Eleven Wonders
Nations FC will travel to face Eleven Wonders in the opening fixture of Matchday 24 of the Ghana Premier League on Friday, with both sides desperate to end their recent struggles.
This will be just the second-ever Premier League meeting between the two teams, after Nations FC claimed victory in the reverse fixture earlier in the season.
Form has not been kind to either side in recent weeks. Nations FC are winless in their last two matches, while Eleven Wonders are enduring a torrid run, having lost their last six games without finding the back of the net. Their attacking struggles have compounded an already difficult campaign.
Despite sitting higher on the table, Nations FC have their own concerns particularly away from home.
They are yet to record an away victory this season after 11 matches on the road, managing just two draws and suffering nine defeats. That poor travelling record will be tested again, but this fixture presents what could be their best opportunity yet to break the duck against a side low on confidence.
Eleven Wonders remain rooted to the foot of the table with just nine points from 23 matches. They have managed only two wins and three draws all season, while their 18 defeats are the most by any team in the division.
With survival hopes fading fast, anything less than a win at home would further dent their slim chances of climbing out of the relegation zone.
For Nations FC, the objective is clear, secure that elusive first away win and strengthen their position in the league standings. For Wonders, it is about pride, survival, and halting a damaging losing streak.
All signs point to a tense encounter, with both sides aware that three points could prove pivotal for very different reasons.
