Hearts of Oak will hit the road to play as guests to newly-promoted side Young Apostles FC in what will be a tricky match-week six clash at the Nana Abrefa Nketiah VII Park on Sunday, October 13.
With just a win so far this season, both teams will enter into the game strongly against each other to search for their second victory with the giants looking very poised this time around.
Failure to grind all three points will bring so much pressure on the 'Phobians' knowing very well how desperately their supporters need this win while the streets of Wenchi will be left in total joy and the people will tango all night should they secure what will be a historic win over the 21-time champions.
MATCH PREVIEW
Young Apostles exhibited an impressive performance last week at the Golden City Park and nearly earned a point against their regional rivals but Mezack Afriyie's goal in the last eighteen minutes handed the hosts a narrow win in the end.
The Yellow-Blues after five matches can boast of only a win and that was the vital 3-2 victory over two-time champions Aduana Stars in week four.
However, the Rainbow Club failed to pick their second win last season after being held by ten-man Aduana Stars to a goalless draw in what was a very exciting fixture at the University of Ghana Stadium.
Goalkeeper Benjamin Asare was really outstanding in the last game having exhibited great leadership qualities and also his heroics especially in the second half kept his side in the game.
Both teams have two draws, two loses and a win from their opening two matches with Hearts of Oak on the 11th spot whereas Young Apostles follow on the 12th spot all with five points each.
TEAM NEWS
Both teams will have a full squad for the game coming up as they are currently without any injuries.
Midfielder Abdul Aziz Nurudeen is now fully fit and will be up for selection having exhibited their readiness for the game.
On the opposition end, coach Asare Bediako knows his opponents very well and will definitely psych his boys very well and ensure they are poised and ready.
