Hearts return to Kumasi for revenge
Porcupine Warriors Kumasi Asante Kotoko and archrivals Accra Hearts of Oak will square off in a match day 31 cliffhanger of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, tomorrow.
Described as Ghana’s biggest league fixture, the ‘Super Clash,’lacks the glamour associated with such matches due to their respective forms.
Kotoko lost 2-1 to Berekum Chelsea away while Hearts lost 1-0 to visiting Aduana Stars in previous encounters.
Again, Kotoko sit 10th on the table with 40 points with Hearts two places behind them with 38 points.
The last fixture played in Kumasi was a home game for the Phobianswho lost by a 3-2 verdict.
In their last 31 games, the Phobians lead with 11 wins, while the Porcupine Warriors have nine wins, making the Phobians superior in the encounter although a Kotoko surprise cannot be ruled out.
Relegation threatened Accra Great Olympics would welcome Berekum Chelsea to the Accra Sports Stadium with the hope of returning to winning ways after going winless in six games.
Back-to-back defeats toMedeama SC and Legon Cities have plunged them into the relegation waters and would require nothing less than a win to breathe life into their situation.
At home, Olympics would compete with everything in them but Chelsea on the back of a huge victory over Kotoko would want to keep the smile on the faces of their fans; that means trouble for the Wonder Club.
Heart of Lions, who are a point above the relegation zone, will welcome league leaders Samartex FC to the Kpando Sports Stadium in a game expected to be full of fireworks.
Today at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park in Dormaa-Ahenkro, Aduana Stars would host Nations FC.
