Berekum Chelsea suf­fered, perhaps, their biggest home defeat in the hands of struggling Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) last week.

That outcome came as a shock to fans considering Hearts struggles in recent times.

As painful as that defeat was, Chelsea fans remain unconvinced about attempt by the players and technical team to blame proficiency in front of goal for the defeat.

They will hope to bounce back today in their match day 30 top fixture against a resurgent Kumasi Asante Kotoko at the Golden City Park in Berekum.

But Kotoko appear to have halted the bad patch that made them relegation prospect and would count on their attack spearheaded by Stephen Mukwala to hand the home team a second defeat in a row.

Today at the Dawu Thea­tre of Dreams, Legon Cities would also oblige relegation threatened Accra Great Olympics in a game both sides would need the points at stake to avoid a drop.

It may be considered a game of equals, judging from the way the two sides are battling hard to avoid a relegation dogfight.

Their games have pro­duced the usual thrills associated with local ri­valries and this will be no exception although Cities look comfortable at their adopted home ground to pull a surprise.

However, Olympics who suffered a painful late min­ute goal against Medeama last week are more than angry to snatch the second win of their campaign.

The Accra Hearts of Oak versus Aduana Stars clash at the Accra Sports Stadium would headline tomorrow’s round of matches with the Phobians under pressure to prove their win over Chelsea was no fluke.

Both sides were among the favourites for the season but they failed to meet those expectations, churning out inconsistent outcomes.

Currently, they are out of contention for any silver­ware but finishing in the Top- Four remains a motivation that could drive them to put up a very good performance.

At the Prof. Nana Amoah Koronmansah II Park, Nsoa­treman will engage Goldstars while Bechem United come face-to-face with Karela United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park.

In other games, Medeama return to the Akoon Park to face Real Tamale United while FC Samartex slug it out with Bofoakwa Tano.
