Nations FC will welcome former champions FC Samartex at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Kumasi for matchday 3 of the Ghana Premier League.

The hosts will be hoping to bounce back from their defeat to Aduana Stars last week when they face FC Samartex.

Meanwhile, Samartex are still in search of their first win of the campaign after two draws in their opening two games of the season.

Although games between the two sides have been competitive, Nations FC have had the upper hand over Samartex, winning three of their four meetings.

Nations FC will be counting on the experience of captain and Black Stars defender Razak Simpson with Richard Danso and Samuel Osei Kuffour playing key roles.

Samartex have lost good players since winning the league title in the 2023/24 season but the Timbers can rely on experienced defender Kofi Agbesimah and forward Emmanuel Mamah to deliver against Nations FC.

The game is expected to be keenly contested despite Nations FC being slight favourites in Kumasi.
