Gold Stars chase first win against Hearts
Kwabena Owusu – Gold Stars
Bibiani Gold Stars will hope to earn their first win against Accra Hearts of Oak at the Dun’s Park when they clash on match day seven of the betPawa Premier League today.
Gold Stars are yet to taste victory against the Phobians at home, having drawn a game and lose the other in the last two seasons.
At home, today’s game would be the third against Hearts at home since joining the elite division and would hope that marks a new beginning for the ‘Gye Nyame’ lads.
Coach Michael Osei who has overseen their last four games with the Phobians is optimistic they would get it right this time as they prepare to capitalise on Hearts uninspiring start to the current season.
For the Phobians, the outcome of this game may have repercussions on the team, especially for Dutch Head Coach, Martinus Koopman who could be booted out if he suffers a third defeat in six games.
Following their 2-2 drawn game with Nations FC, Asante Kotoko returns to the Baba Yara Stadium to host Bechem United tomorrow with a win high on their agenda.
Having halted their jerky start to the season, Kotoko has now bagged nine points from six games and in seventh place on the log.
The visitors lie in a distant 12th position with two points separating them and Head Coach Bismark Kobi Mensah would be up for an upset.
Bechem would be hoping to do better than the 1-0 loss suffered last season on the same grounds.
The newly constructed Hohoe Sports Stadium will host its first Premier League action tomorrow as Kpando Hearts of Lions host Karela United.
Hearts of Lions have relocated to the 10,000-seater facility as their new home venue away from their Sogakope WAFA Park after the impact of the Akosombo Dam spillage on the Sogakope Park.
Currently, Heart of Lions find themselves in the 15th position on the league table with five points while their opponent Karela United are two points above them with six points.
Two-time league champions, Aduana Stars FC will trek to the Aliu Mahama Stadium in Tamale to play as guest of joint leaders Real Tamale United.
