The Ghana Premier League returns this weekend after the injunction secured by AshantiGold was lifted by the Accra High Court earlier this week.
Hearts of Oak will be welcoming Bibiani Goldstars to nation's capital on Saturday for the match-week four of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.
During the suspension of the Ghana Premier League, the Phobians underwent a massive shake-up at its technical team after the sacking of Samuel Boadu and his assistant Hamza Obeng as well as the club's goalkeepers coach Eric Amponsah.
Hearts of Oak exited from the CAF Confederation Cup after losing the ASR Bamako on 3-1 aggregate after a two-legged fixture under stop-gap coach David Ocloo.
The Hearts of Oak board of directors announced the appointment of Serbian coach Slavko Matic on a two-year deal and his first assignment is to battle out with Bibiani Goldstars in the Ghana Premier League at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Hearts of Oak had a winless start before the four-week break. The Phobians picked only two points from three games and will be hoping to record their first victory over Bibiani Goldstars.
Bibiani Goldstars also had a difficult start in the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League after losing to Dreams FC and Nsoatreman. The Miners picked all the three maximum points against Bechem United in Bibiani courtesy a lone strike from Micheal Enu.
Hearts of Oak managed to record a back-to-back win against Bibiani Goldstars during the last season's Premier League campaign.
