Top 4: Kotoko, Hearts Face Herculian Tasks

Accra Hearts of Oak plays Kumasi King Faisal, while Asante Kotoko takes on Berekum Arsenal in Accra and Sunyani respectively when the penultimate round of matches are cleared in this year's One-touch GHALCA Top 4 tournament on Sunday.

Hearts of Oak tops the standing on six points and a win over Faisal at the El-Wak stadium will see them a step closer to winning their second Top 4 title. They drew goalless in the first leg tie in Obuasi.

Matches between the two are closely fought and chances are really even in this fixture. It would take some extra work on either side to win the day.

Asante Kotoko were at the receiving end of a 2-3 defeat to Arsenal in Berekum in their first game and now have a chance to redeem their image as they take on the bottom club at the Coronation Park in Sunyani.

The Ghanaian champions were in superlative form in the African Champions' league last Sunday when they thumped USCAFOOT of Madacascar a whopping 6-0.

Certainly, this is a wake-up call for the Berekum lads, who themselves failed to find an opening in their Confederation Cup game against Petro Athletico of Angola.
Followers of Kotoko would hope the goals will flow in this game as they look forward to a slip by Hearts or Faisal for them to jump to the top.
