Preview: Hearts versus Kotoko

It is another Super Clash in the Glo Premier League today. The fixture most Ghanaians are looking out for, as traditional rivals, Hearts of Oak come up against Asante Kotoko.

Before the much heralded top liner, the game between second from bottom Tema Youth and last on the log, Real Tamale United, who have already confirmed their demotion will come off on Saturday at the Tema Stadium.


Tema Youth will be determined to claim all three points to improve their chances of avoiding the drop.


Then on Sunday, the derby comes up at the Accra Sports Stadium.


Hearts versus Kotoko might not be the title-shaping fixture it once was, but the outcome could go have an effect on the title destination with the visitors, Kotoko in contention of defending the trophy they won last season.


It will be intense filled with passion as either side keeps an eye on the big prize when the two sides go head-to-head once again in a game which does not look like ending in a draw.


The build up to this game has seen both camps keep off the media, but Kotoko's letter to their opponents on Thursday to be given permission to open negotiations with Hearts captain, Mahatma Otoo has fueled expectation.

If the move could distract the Phobians and their leader, who is the league's top scorer with 13 goals will be evident wen they two teams meet.


As the nation keeps an eye on the game in Accra, league leaders Medeama, who are ahead of Kotoko by just one point will still be interested in the outcome of that particular game as they also focus on their home game with Liberty Professionals.


Berekum Chelsea, second on the standings will make the trip to the Gyamfi Park to face New Edubiase.


Ebusua Dwarfs remain in the hunt for a top-four finish as they welcome an in-form Wa All Stars to the Robert Mensah Stadium.


Another battle for a top-four place also continues in Dormaa where Aduana host AshantiGold in the clash between fifth and sixth on the log.


The scramble to avoid relegation is on for Berekum Arsenal who sit just above the bottom side will attempt to win at the Golden City Park when Amidaus Professionals visit.
