Legon Cities will hope to recover from Wednesday's defeat at Samartex and an armed robbery attack when they host Medeama on Sunday.

The Royals suffered a traumatic experience on their way to the capital from Aboi when a group of armed assailants attacked the team, marking a harrowing episode in the club's history.

Cities had been battered 3-0 by Samartex and had their misery compounded when the armed robbers attacked the team.

However, coach Paa Kwesi Fabin's side must overcome their on and off-field troubles to deliver against the champions at the El-Wak Stadium on Sunday.

Legon Cities have struggled against the Mauve and Yellow and will be eager to rewrite the script.

Cities' heavy defeat at Samartex will serve as a massive guide to the side in their bid to return to winning ways quickly.

The Royals come up against a side desperate for oxygen following their 3-1 defeat at Hearts of Oak.

Medeama lost in the capital and will also be eager to pick at least a point or more from this game.

A point separates the two teams with Legon Cities occupying 7th with 11 points and Medeama 12th with 10 points.
