Accra Hearts of Oak brace for a battle of resurgence against Karela United in the Ghana Premier League at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
With only eight matches remaining, every point becomes precious as both teams strive to improve their league standing.
Hearts of Oak, currently positioned 11th with 32 points, are determined to bounce back after a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Medeama last week. Kobina Amoah and Godfred Abban scored for the Yellow and Mauve in the 63rd and 81st minute.
Their recent form, with just one win in five matches, underscores the urgency for a turnaround.
Karela United, sitting marginally below in 14th place with 30 points, also endured a setback, succumbing 3-2 to Bibiani Gold Stars. Abednego Tetteh, Mawuli Wayo, and Prince Kwabena Owusu scored for Gold Stars while Dafie Mohammed and Kumi Attah scored for Karela United.
However, they’ve displayed moments of strength, winning two of their last five encounters.
As the two sides lock horns, anticipation mounts for a fiercely contested clash where revival hangs in the balance.
