Aduana Stars, Hearts to thrill fans at Dormaa
• Steven Mukwala – Kotoko
There would be fireworks at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park tomorrow when league leaders, Aduana Stars FC hosts Accra Hearts of Oak in a top betPawa Ghana Premier League week 13 encounter.
Hearts dropped points in Accra in the previous encounter after drawing 1-1 with Berekum Chelsea.
That, obviously did not go down well with their followers and would hope they make amends this weekend.
But how Aduana Stars also lost at home to a struggling Accra Lions side at Dormaa still remains a mystery for their followers.
It is the reason both sides would fight tooth-and-nail to snatch all three points to make their supporters happy.
A defeat to Accra Lions can also not be used as a yardstick to rule the home side out of honours in the clash considering their pedigree at home.
That setback can be just a blip which they can overcome to humiliate the Hearts of Oak side that also appear to be struggling although it looks like a game to end in a stalemate.
Asante Kotoko seem motivated and coming back to their best after a string of victories in the competition.
But that would be tested by Berekum Chelsea when they cross swords in an encounter expected to be explosive.
Kotoko humiliated their new city rivals, Nations FC 3-0 in the MTN FA Cup competition on Tuesday to prove their new found form was no fluke.
But against Chelsea, they would face a sterner test in their quest to challenge the trophy this season.
Accra Great Olympics and Legon Cities will be engaged in the Accra derby at the WAFA Park at Sogakope today.
In other matches, Bofoakwa Tano and FC Samartex would lock horns, while Bibiani Gold Stars hosts Nsoatreman FC at Bibiani tomorrow.
Accra Lions, will face Nations FC while Karela United entertains Bechem United in another dicey encounter.
