Dreams FC host a resurgent Accra Hearts of Oak in a tantalizing Ghana Premier League Match Week 10 fixture on Saturday.
The home side enter the game hoping to bounce back from a defeat to King Faisal in their last fixture.
The Still Believe lost by the odd goal in a 5 goal thriller at the Kumasi Sports Stadium on Tuesday and will eye getting back to winning ways when they welcome the defending league champions to the Theater of Dreams, Dawu.
They will however be denied the services of Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Philemon Baffour who have received callups to the Senior National football team, the Black Stars for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament, in Cameroon next year.
Specifically, Fatawu Issahaku’s absence will be a huge miss for the home side as he’s proven a very crucial player to Coach Vladislav Viric’s attacking plans.
The youngster who’s making his debut in Ghana’s top flight has excelled so far in his short stint at Dreams, scoring 6 goals in 7 appearances. He was eventually named the Premier League Player for the Month of November.
Accra Hearts of Oak are gradually turning around their season in their recent matches.
After a poor start to the campaign, the Phobians have recorded back to back wins in their last 2 games; beating Elmina Sharks and Accra Lions.
They followed it up with another win against Accra Lions in the FA Cup during midweek to extend their winning streak to 3 in all competitions.
To further accentuate the point that the Phobians have indeed turned a corner, their last 3 victories have come with clean sheets, which is a major boost for their defence.
Hearts goalie Richard Attah will miss this game as he has also been handed an invite to join Ghana’s pre-Afcon 2021 squad.
Ghana Football fans will certainly be in for a trwta when they watch this fixtur elive on TV via StarTimes Adepa Channel.
Kick-off is at 3pm GMT.
