Hearts of Oak will play as guests to Nations FC in a crunchy Ghana Premier League week four tie at the fortress, Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese.
The 'Phobians' emerged superior in their meetings last season having won 2-0 at home and also secured a 1-1 draw at the same venue last season in a game Richard Danso's late equalizer saved the hosts from a defeat.
With both teams securing their first season wins last week, will definitely come all out against each other especially Nations FC who are willing to preserve their current eighteen game unbeaten run at home.
MATCH PREVIEW
The Eagles started the campaign with a 1-1 draw at home against Bechem United before holding newbies Young Apostles FC to a goalless draw subsequently.
The Sky Blues delivered a staggering performance in the last round of games with a surprising 0-2 away win over Aduana Stars in the previous weekend.
The Abrankese-based side entered into the game as underdogs courtesy goals from Nafiu Sulemana and Faisal Charwetey and are looking forward to building on that momentum.
However, Hearts of Oak also appeared to have finally found their rhythm despite a very shaky and sloppy start to the campaign which got majority of the supporters very irritated.
After a defeat against Basake Holy Stars and Heart of Lions in their opening two matches, the 'Phobians' finally redeemed themselves with a crucial 2-0 triumph over Bechem United last week in their first game at Legon.
Two second half goals from Hamza Issah and Ransford Mensah were enough to grind them what was a very important win and are hoping to grind more results as the season progresses.
