Premier League: Hearts of Oak aim to end winless run against Nations FC today
Hearts of Oak will aim to end their three-game winless run when they welcome Nations FC to the Tuba Astro Turf on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
Hearts dropped yet another crucial point at Gold Stars FC for the third successive week (W2, D1, L2). They are currently behind Medeama SC in 5th position in the league table with 37 points, having scored 20 and conceded the joint least goals (13).
The Phobians are among the top ten best home performers in the league this season, following four consecutive victories in their last five home fixtures. Aboubakar Ouattara’s men will be desperate to secure all the spoils on Wednesday.
Nations FC have won one, drawn one and suffered three defeats in their last five league matches, having scored the second joint most goals (24) and conceded the second joint least goals (14). They are currently occupying the 5th position in the league table with 36 points after 23 appearances this season.
Kasim Mingle Ocansey’s men are the best away performers in the league despite failing to win any of their previous three consecutive matches away from home (D1, L2). They’ve amassed 18 points from their twelve away games this season and will be keen to continue their magnificent performance away from home on Thursday when they trip to the capital.
Hearts of Oak have played Nations FC once at home in the league since the Abrankese lads gained promotion into the Premier League last season with the game ending in a 2-0 victory for Hearts of Oak.
