Kenichi anticipates tough duel against Techiman City FC

Hearts of Oak coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi anticipates a tough battle against Techiman City FC on the road.

The Phobians will be seeking to return to winning ways in Techiman after the humiliating 3-1 defeat at the hands of All Stars.

But will need a solid performance to upstage the Citizens who boast a 100% winning record at home.

And Yatsuhashi believes Hearts will be given a 'big challenge' by a 'good side.'

"Techiman City is a good side; but I think nothing is different. Every team will give a big challenge against Accra Hearts of Oak and you know it's a big name and everyone wants to win against Hearts of Oak so we have to be on our best game all the time," Yatsuhashi exclusively to Hearts official newspaper.

Hearts will miss the services of Sabahn Laryea who is suspended for the tie, but goalkeeper Abdoulaye Soulama and striker Foovi Aguidi are available for selection.
