Match Preview and Prediction: Hearts of Oak vs Elmina Sharks

The Accra Sports Stadium will play host to Accra Hearts of Oak who will fancy their chances against relegation strugglers Elmina Sharks.


The home side are coming into this tricky encounter after losing their crunch return leg at Baba Yara to Kotoko through a Frank Mbella penalty, his 16th of the season. 

In the last 7 games, the Phobians haven’t disappointed their fans, picking 5 wins which has since boasted their harbored hopes of defending the league triumph. 

Samuel Boadu is a man under pressure, who will rely heavily on the experience of Sulley Muntari, Gladson Awako, and new signing Samuel Inkoom coupled with the youth experience of Daniel Afriyie Barnieh, Isaac Mensah, and Salim Adams to get the job done against Elmina Sharks. 



The away side are in trouble, very trouble which could end them being relegated if their fortunes in the league don’t improve starting from tomorrow’s game in the capital. 

An inspired goal from Ishmael Antwi aided them to record their first win in as many matches, they will be counting heavily on his pace and trickery this weekend to repeat the dosage against Hearts. 

The Sharks are winless in 11 away games in the league, a stat that needs drastic change this weekend.  

Both teams will need to play above their weight levels in order to cop all the 3 maximum points. 

Predictions: HEARTS 2-1 ELMINA SHARKS
