Head coach of Hearts of Oak, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani is very much aware of how organized their next opponents Basake Holy Stars are but then has charged his players to head in for nothing but a victory and also improve in their subsequent matches.
The ‘Phobians’ last win in the league was mid last month against their bitter rivals Asante Kotoko and has not won any of their last two matches; a draw at home to Berekum Chelsea and a painful 2-1 away loss at Bibiani GoldStars last week.
The Rainbow Club are currently sitting in third position on the league table with 41 points, five adrift leaders Medeama SC and will have to push extra harder if they still have their sights set on the league title.
In a pre-match interview with Hearts TV, the experienced tactician showed respect to his opponents but seeks nothing but all three points from his players going into the game.
"Holy Stars are a very strong side. Strong side in the sense that they play too direct. They have good wingers in the persons of Prince Tweneboah and Gideon Quayson," he said.
"They try to put balls in the box here and there. So, we need to shut them down and respond positively. We want to go forward, and if we want to do that, then we need to improve."
Hearts of Oak vs Basake Holy Stars is slated for this Sunday, March 8, at the University of Ghana Stadium at 15:00GMT (3:00pm).
