The Ghana Premier League enters Matchday 19, and Hearts of Oak will be looking to bounce back when they host Heart of Lions on Friday night at the University of Ghana Stadium, Legon.
The Phobians suffered a disappointing first-round defeat to the Lions and will be eager to set the record straight in front of their home fans. With their season still in the balance, a win will be crucial as they push for a strong finish in the second round of the league.
Meanwhile, Heart of Lions come into this fixture with confidence, hoping to complete the double over Hearts. Their key striker, Kwadwo Obeng Jnr, former Hearts of Oak striker has declared himself fit and ready for the big clash after missing their previous game due to injury.
“Hearts of Oak is a strong team, but if we are able to push harder, we will emerge victorious at the end of the match,” Obeng Jnr stated. “I’m fit for the Hearts of Oak game. I picked a knock, so I couldn’t feature in our last game. But I have recovered and ready to play against Hearts. To win this game, we have to be determined and work hard.”
With both teams hungry for points, Friday’s showdown promises to be an intense battle under the floodlights. Can Hearts of Oak get their revenge, or will Heart of Lions once again roar to victory?
