However, Hearts of Oak are facing challenges as they navigate this important fixture without a head coach and key players like Albert Eounde, Raphael Amponsah, Obeng Kwadwo Jnr, Michael Sarpong, and others.
On the flip side, Asante Kotoko enters this clash in good form, boasting an impressive three-game unbeaten streak. Yet, they’ll have to manage without goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim, Kalou Ouattara, and potentially Georges Mfegue, who might miss the game due to reported uncertainties.
In their recent encounters, there’s been a scarcity of goals, with the last four meetings witnessing fewer scoring moments. Notably, Hearts of Oak clinched a victory against Asante Kotoko on their home turf last season.
The Baba Yara Sports Stadium anticipates a jam-packed crowd, fervently supporting the biggest club rivalry in the country.
