Former Hearts of Oak skipper Thomas Abbey has disclosed that Kotoko and Hearts games are the easiest in the Ghana Premier League.

Hearts will welcome Kotoko to the Accra Sports stadium on Sunday on match day six of the on-going league campaign as they battle for the bragging rights.

The Phobians have recovered from their poor start to the season, having won two games against Liberty Professionals and Ebusua Dwarfs and drawing goalless against WAFA in Sogakope.

On the other hand, the Porcupine Warriors have won only game in their last three encounters.

"Kotoko and Hearts games are the easiest in the league.It is the easiest of all the matches,the other games are the most difficult ones," he told KUMASI FM 104.1MHZ.

"However, I’m cautioning the players to be wary of the nature of the game and overturn the assertion that Kotoko are favourites at the Accra sports stadium.

"Putting club sentiments aside, I believe Kotoko are favourites in the game but I don’t think they can win considering precedents.

"It is difficult predicting these games because of the spiritualities involved,the ninety minutes will decide the winner," he concluded.
