Hearts of Oak are gearing up to welcome their neighbours, Accra Lions, to the Accra Sports Stadium for the 28th matchday of the Ghana Premier League.

Originally scheduled for Saturday, April 27, 2024, the match was rescheduled to Wednesday, May 1st, due to a broadcasting decision.

The Phobians are looking to recover from their recent defeat to Legon Cities on Matchday 27 as they prepare to take on the high-flying Accra Lions.

Hearts boast a commendable track record against their younger adversaries, who are yet to secure their first Premier League victory over the Phobians.

Despite their past successes, the former Premier League champions have found this season challenging, currently sitting 12th on the table with only one win in their last five matches. They have suffered three losses, one draw, and one victory in these recent games.

Conversely, Accra Lions have been a formidable force in the second half of the season, securing three wins and suffering just one loss in their last five outings.

Hearts of Oak's Ivorian coach, Aboubakar Ouattara, is relying on his lead striker, Hamza Issah, to spearhead the team's offense, with Salim Adams and Linda Mtange providing crucial support.

The Accra Lions' attack has been notably sharp since the year's start, with Yahaya Mohammed at the forefront, complemented by the creative talents of Daniel Awuni and Dominic Amponsah.
