Bibiani Goldstars will be out aiming to extend their three-game winning streak when they host Accra Hearts of Oak SC on Sunday (March 1) in a mouthwatering Matchweek 24 fixture of the Ghana Premier League campaign.
The contest will take place at Dun’s Park in Bibiani, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00pm local time.
The hosts will be looking to ambush the Phobians after an impressive run of 13 wins, three draws and seven defeats from 23 matches this season. Hearts of Oak, meanwhile, have been equally consistent, recording 10 wins, 10 draws and just three defeats after 23 rounds of matches.
