Kotoko winger Eric Donkoh is anticipating a tough clash against Hearts but remains defiant about his side's chances in Monday's super clash.

The Porcupine Warriors travel to Accra for the must-win game after losing 1-0 at home to New Edubiase last Friday.

Pressure is building in the air for the two teams with Kotoko the team under siege following their unflattering start to the season.

But left-back turned wideman Eric Donkoh is relishing a tough clash against their sworn rivals.

“Hearts Kotoko games are always tough, no one can predict, but I am hopeful we will get a good result,” he said.

“Is a very important game for us because if we win we will make our supporters happy so we must do our best to win.

“It is true Hearts is doing well in the League but as I said you can’t predict games between Hearts and Kotoko.”

Monday’s clash will be the 52nd meeting between the two sides at the Accra Sports Stadium.
