Hearts of Oak will hope to get back to winning ways when they welcome Heart of Lions to the University of Ghana Stadium on Friday evening.
Hearts dropped yet another vital points on the road as they drew 1-1 at Basake Holy Stars. The Phobians know they need to improve and fast in order to boost their hopes of challenging for the Premier League crown.
They’ve amassed 30 points and are currently occupying the 6th position in the table. They head into this fixture with two successive draws and three successive wins in the last five outings, having scored 16 and conceded 10.
Aboubakar Ouattara’s men are the sixth weakest home performers in the league despite back-to-back victories in their previous home games. They will be eager to snatch all the spoils on Friday.
Heart of Lions narrowly defeated Aduana FC (2-1) at home over the weekend to end their two-game losing streak (W3, L2). That success saw the Kpando lads jumped to the 3rd place in the league table with 33 points, having scored 18 and conceded 10 in the process. Bashiru
Hayford’s men are the sixth best away side in the league. Lions head into this fixture with a 3-0 defeat at Bechem United in their last away fixture prior to this encounter. They will be desperate to secure their third victory away from home on Friday.
Hearts of Oak have played Heat of Lions once at home in the league since the Kpando lads gained promotion back into the Premiership last season with the game ending in a 2-1 victory for the Phobians.
