LIVE UPDATES: Asante Kotoko 0-1 Hearts of Oak

Hello good afternoon and welcome to the most anticipated game of match day 10 of the Ghana Premier League.

The biggest clash on the domestic calendar comees off today as Asante Kotoko play as hosts to bitter rivals Hearts of Oak this afternoon.

All roads will lead to the Baba Yara stadium in Kumasi when the biggest and oldest rivalry in Ghana football takes center stage. Both sides have seen their dominance in the Ghana Premier League and on the continent wane in recent years, however, the fixture still ranks as one of the most historic in world football.

In previous years this fixture would have been a top-of-the-table clash, however, both Kotoko and Hearts currently find themselves lagging behind Ashanti Gold, who occupy top spot.
The Porcupine Warriors go into the fixture as slight favourites, having copped an incredible home record since the season began.

In five home games this season the Kumasi giants have managed three wins, a draw and a single loss – the latter which came against Medeama SC.

Hearts of Oak, on the other hand, will be approaching the game on the back of a poor run which has culminated in just a single win in their last five league games. It is a run that has seen the Phobians lose grip on the title challenge, as well as drop out of the top four.

The Accra giants have had a poor start to the campaign, punctuated by inconsistent performances that have frustrated the Hearts faithful.

Hearts have often performed better at the Baba Yara stadium but can they produce a performance this afternoon?
