Real Tamale United (RTU) will be welcoming Hearts of Oak to the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium for the Ghana Premier League match-week 16 fixture on Sunday evening.
Having failed to defeat Legon Cities at home, the Phobians have made a long trip to the Northern part of the country looking forward to maintain their Premier League unbeaten streak in Tamale since last season.
Coach Slavko Matic's side are hoping to return to winning ways to keep their hopes of clinching the top-flight title alive after picking only two wins in their last five matches in the league.
Meanwhile, RTU suffered humiliation in the mid-week of the Ghana Premier League after losing 6-2 to Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in Bechem.
Coach Baba Nuhu and his charges will be leaving no stone unturned when they lock horns with Hearts of Oak in the penultimate fixture, seeking for a positive result to erase the heavy loss to Bechem United from the minds of their fans.
