Glorious Accra Hearts of Oak will battle New Edubiase United at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra on Sunday in their opening game of the 2015/16 football season in Ghana.

The Phobians finished the last campaign in 13th position from the 16 club contest and will be eager to better that performance, this campaign starting on Sunday.

They will hope to start off with a win and will be confident of doing so after they have had what have looked an impressive pre-season campaign under their Japanese-American coach, Kenichi Yatsuhashi.

Last Sunday, they completed that exercise by playing and winning two games against newly promoted premiership outfit, Dreams FC at the Dawu Park which will be home venue for the promoted side.

Fans of the Phobians will hope they can carry that positive mood into Sunday’s game against a New Edubiase United side that finished the last campaign in eighth position.

New Edubiase earn a share of the spoils

Last season, United did the double over Hearts of Oak, winning 2-1 at Obuasi and repeating the same score line in Accra and will therefore not be afraid coming to the capital to face the Phobians.

They have been very quiet in their pre-season preparations but should be ready for the start of the campaign when they come up against Hearts of Oak on Sunday in Accra.

It should be an interesting encounter to savour for fans that will turn up at the stadium on Sunday and an exicting fixture is in store as encounters between the two have shown in the past.
