Hearts of Oak will face Nations FC as guests in a tense Ghana Premier League week four match at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese.
Last season, the 'Phobians' dominated their meetings, winning 2-0 at home and drawing 1-1 at the same venue in a game where Richard Danso's late equalizer saved the hosts from defeat.
With both teams getting their first season victory last week, they will undoubtedly go all out against one other, particularly Nations FC, who are looking to maintain their current eighteen-game unbeaten streak at home.
MATCH PREVIEW
After losing to Basake Holy Stars and Heart of Lions in their first two games, the 'Phobians' redeemed themselves last week with a critical 2-0 victory over Bechem United in their maiden game in Legon.
Hamza Issah and Ransford Mensah scored twice in the second half to secure a crucial victory, and they hope to grind out more results as the season unfolds.
TEAM NEWS
Both sides have not recorded any major absences due to injury or suspension from their previous games and will field their full-strength squads against each other.
Hussein Mohammed, Ransford Mensah, and Razak Simpson, three players from both teams, made the last round's team and are anticipated to match the buzz this time.
PROBABLE XI.
Nations FC's roster includes Kofi, Grippman, Kuffour, Simpson, Amankwaa, Charwetey, Ampoful, Alhassan, Nafiu, Vladimir, and Baah.
