The relegation worries of Accra Hearts of Oak are expected to continue this weekend when the Phobians play host to fellow strugglers Heart of Lions in a grudge 23rd week first capital Plus Premier League match at the Accra Stadium.
After two straight losses to Hasaacas and Aduana Stars, the crisis-hit Phobians, now languishing in an unfamiliar 14th position, will fight tooth and nail to avoid another home defeat against the hungry Lions, knowing too well the consequences.
Similarly, rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko face another herculean task away against high-performing WAFA after suffering a heavy 0-3 defeat to Berekum Chelsea in Kumasi.
Kotoko are currently 10th as against WAFA’s fifth position, making it a tough task for the Porcupine Warriors who need a good result at Sogakope to appease their angry fans.
League leaders AshantiGold, whose seven-point lead has been cut down to four by Chelsea, also face a tough assignment against bogey side New Edubiase in their local derby at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.
Second-placed Chelsea, fresh from their great conquest of Kotoko in Kumasi last Sunday, will be inspired to go for another home win against Liberty Professionals at the Berekum Golden City Park.
The rest of the matches are Medeama versus Bechem United at Tarkwa, All Stars versus Liberty Professionals at Wa, and Inter Allies versus Hasaacas at Tema.
