Their last meeting at the Nana Agyemanag Badu I Park ended 1-1 with Yahaya Mohammed scoring for the home side and Daniel Awuni also netting for Accra Lions. Emmanuel Gyamfi, Kwame Adom Frimpong, Godfred Opoku Ware and Sam Adams are in contention for a starting berth whiles Ibrahim Tanko aims to parade a formidable side to face the leaders.

With the absence of Dominic Nsobila, Hagan Frimpong, Basit Seidu, Jacob Amu Mensah and Shawkan Mohammed look prepared for the battle ahead.

Dreams FC have improved tremendously but results at the Golden City Park have not been favourable despite recording a 1-0 win in the 2021/22 season.
