Hearts of Oak and Aduana Stars will kickstart Ghana Premier League match-week five on the evening of Friday, October 4, in what will be an enticing showdown at the University of Ghana Stadium.
The game is anticipated to be very competitive and exciting and will undoubtedly be the top liner for the week in the Ghanaian topflight.
Whiles the 'Phobians' will hope to continue with their recent form and chase their second win of the season, the Fire Boys will also head in stronger as they still yet to pick their first win of the season.
MATCH PREVIEW
The 'Phobians' have been doing better compared to the early stages and were once again put to test last week in Abrankese where they came up against a very well-organized Nations FC in a herculean clash that finished goalless.
After picking their first win against Bechem United in week 3 by 2-0, the 'Phobians' currently have two loses, a win and a draw from their opening four matches and are currently occupying the fourth position on the table with four points.
With Aduana Stars, they are yet to exhibit any outstanding performance to put smile on the faces of their supporters and also revive their hopes of fighting for nothing but the ultimate this season.
The 'Ogya' lads are currently on a two-game losing streak and were stunned by 1-2 at home by Nations FC and also lost 3-2 to newbies Young Apostles- who secured their first topflight win in the last round of matches.
Despite their sloppy start, the two-time champions have always been a pain in the neck to the giants even at their own grounds having won in their last three visits to the capital against them and will hope to nip on that in searching their first victory of the new campaign.
TEAM NEWS
Both teams don't have any major injury or suspension concerns from their last games and will definitely have a full strength squad to parade for the game.

On the opposition end, Aduana Stars coach Yaw Acheampong says they are ready for the game and is very optimistic their first win of the campaign will come against Hearts of Oak tomorrow.
