An exciting fixture to be witnessed in the Ghana Premier League this Sunday as two clubs who haven't really made a great start to the season - Hearts of Oak and Bechem United scrap it out in an epic week 3 showdown at the University of Ghana Stadium.
The 21-time champions had to relocate to the new venue in Legon following the closure of the Accra Sports Stadium couple of days ago for renovation.
Both teams' have had really a shaky and jittery start so far and will go all out this time seeking their first win of the new season.
MATCH PREVIEW
All Phobians present at the Kpando Sports Stadium last week were left in a complete shock following their 0-2 loss to Heart of Lions last week to mark their consecutive defeat.
The game was still goalless heading into the final ten minutes until substitute Kwesi Pong and Ishmael Addo found the back of the nets to hand all three points to the homesters.
The defeat has now deepen the giants woes having lost their opening at home astonishingly to newbies Basake Holy Stars and wouldn't dare to slack knowing very well how their supporters desperately need this victory.
However, Bechem United despite looking a bit better, are yet to taste a defeat but also they are winless in their opening two matches and will definitely look to capitalize on their opponents shaky start to seek that.
The Hunters secured a vital away draw against Nations FC on opening day but failed to win at home last weekend after being also held to a pulsating goalless draw by Aduana Stars on home soil.
TEAM NEWS
Both teams haven't really expressed concerns over any major injury or suspension case from their last games and will have almost a full strength squad available for the game.
Coach Aboubakar Ouattara is very much aware of how agitated the Phobians are and will definitely be looking forward to nothing but a win heading into this clash.
On the opposition end, Charles Owusu who got red carded in their first game will continue to be absent for this fixture too due to suspension.
Coach Kwaku Danso has admitted goal-scoring has been their problem recently despite playing well in their previous games and is something they have been working on all week hoping it gets better this time.
