GPL: Hearts chase first win of the season

Accra Hearts of Oak will later today attempt to record their first victory of the season when they play new neighbours Ebusua Dwarfs in this midweek fixture at the Cape Coast Stadium.

The game is crucial in many ways because anything aside victory will compound the growing pressure on Hearts Coach Henry Wellington.

Wellington has come under pressure after the team’s horrific performance against AshantiGold in week two.

The Phobians were humiliated in their first home game against AshantiGold. They lost 1-3 to the Miners at the Cape Coast Stadium.

Hearts of Oak have accrued just a point in two games played so far, drawing against Techiman Eleven Wonders in week one and losing to AshantiGold in week two.

Accra Hearts of Oak will be searching for their first win of the season against new neighbours Ebusua Dwarfs at the Cape Coast Stadium

Even though Accra Hearts of Oak are playing away to Dwarfs at the Cape Coast Stadium, this is an opportunity for them to get adapted to their new home venue and a win against Dwarfs will boost their confidence as well as ease the pressure and tension from their supporters.

Meanwhile, Ebusua Dwarfs drew away to Wa All Stars in week two and will also be hoping to secure a win against Hearts of Oak in tomorrow’s fixture.

Elsewhere, Kotoko will hope to build on their good start to the season when they play as guest of Medeama today. The Porcupine Warriors have 4 points from two games and are looking like a side capable of challenging for the title this season. After a 1-1 draw with WAFA in Sogakope in the opening week of the season, Kotoko beat Inter Allies last Sunday to record their first win of the season. Victory over Medeama will be welcome news for Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin who has been trusted to turn the fortunes of the club around after the sacking of Steven Pollack.
