On Friday, the Killers will start their hunt for the title against newly promoted and in-form Bhantal FC in the second-round Premier League run at the SLFA Secretariat renovated playing ground at Kingtom, Freetown.
Both teams drew 1-1 at the Parade Field in Freetown, in March. A win for the Killers means they will close the gap on their match-day rival to one point, while Bhantal will move up to second place, at least for a day, with maximum points.
Under the supervision of Head Coach Isaac Kofi Sarfo Castro, East End Lions have turned their season around, winning their last two matches and being unbeaten in their last six games.
In their last matches, they defeated league leaders Bo Rangers, Diamond Stars, and Luawa FC, which was part of their impressive run.
However, Bhantal, with their impressive stats, will be a tough side to defeat.
Bhantal had an impressive first half of the season, achieving eight wins, seven draws, and two defeats in seven games.
Throughout the entire phase, they only conceded six goals, which speaks volumes about the meticulous planning and training of the coaching staff.
Assistant Coaches Musa Jalloh and Ibrahim Sorkey Kamara have worked diligently with Head Coach Abdulai Kaloga Bah, ensuring the team remains competitive in every match.
