The Phobians are aiming at avenging their 3-2 loss suffered in the first round.
Former Asante Kotoko midfielder Godwin Ablordey has predicted a tough game as the Porcupine Warriors clash with Hearts of Oak in a crucial Ghana Premier League Round 31 game at the Baba Yara Stadium.
The two Ghanaian heavyweights will be playing on Sunday, May 26 afternoon, each side being desperate for maximum points to improve their standing on the league table.
A win by either team will do them a lot of good on the log with Asante Kotoko currently laying-flat on 10th with 40 points.
A win with enough goals for Hearts of Oak will see Aboubakar Ouattara's side tally 41 points and climb up a bit with goal difference ratio.
Speaking ahead of the mouth-watering fixture, Bibiani GoldStars FC assistant coach said it will be a tricky game but stressed the side with the best performance on the day will be all out for the maximum points at stake.
"The rivalry has evolved over time. In the past, with many national team players involved, it was fiercely contested," Ablordey said.
"Prosper Narteh Ogum has maintained an unbeaten record against Hearts of Oak during his coaching tenure at Kotoko, while Ouattara has also tasted victory against them.
"Fans are the heartbeat of these clubs. Their presence is vital, so I urge them to turn out in large numbers to inspire their teams," he added.
