The first 'Ga-Mantse' derby of the 2022/23 football season comes up this afternoon at the Ohene Gyan Stadium pitting Greater Accra Regional rivals, Hearts of Oak and Great Olympics.
The 'Phobians' will look to end their appaling start as soon as possible and also end their losing streak in the derby.
However, Olympics who have won three in their last three meetings will be heading into this game with nothing but a winning mentality to continue with their dominance.
Hearts of Oak first game of the ongoing campaign ended in a bad note after suffering a narrow defeat against Aduana Stars last week in Dormaa and will look to bounce back from that this time.
However, the 'Dade' outfit commenced in style with a hard fought 1-0 triumph over Bechem United and will also hope to keep their perfect start intact.

Coach Samuel Boadu has no any major injury worries from their last game but will miss the service of center-back Caleb Amankwah who got sent off for gross misconduct.
But, Konadu Yiadom is now eligible to feature and is most likely he could fill the gap in their backline so as newly-signed Congolese midfielder Linda Mtange. Ibrahim Salifu has started training but he is most likely to miss out on the squad.
With Great Olympics, coach Yaw Preko has all his players fully fit and poised for the epic tie today.
Black Stars veteran midfielder, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu starred in their last game and has already exhibited their readiness for the today's fixture.
Also, Solomon Adomako and Abdul Bashiru managed to make the team of the week following their stellar display last week but hero Samuel Ashie Quaye who rose from the bench to snatch the winner missed out.
