Midweek league thrills today

Accra Hearts of Oak will hope to continue in their quest for the Premier League title after their impressive stalemate with arch- rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko when they host holders Ashantigold in Accra this afternoon.

Hearts held Kotoko to a 1-1 draw in last Sunday’s Super Clash at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi and will be seeking the double over Ashantigold after beating them 2-1 at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium in the first round.

Hearts coach, Sergio Traguil, will count on the likes of Samudeen Ibrahim, Isaac Mensah, Patrick Razak and Mustapha Essuman to defeat a resurgent Ashantigold side which began the season on a bad note.

Coach Yakubu Mambo will also hope to get the best out of his players to prevent another setback which could drop them into the relegation zone.

Fellow title chasers, Wa All Stars, who have a game in hand against Medeama SC, will try to maintain the pressure on leaders Hearts by securing a good result against Inter Allies in Tema.

At Bekwai, Kotoko need to snatch an away win over New Edubiase to keep up their title hopes in their regional derby.

Coach Michael Osei has to inspire his boys to put their three-match winless streak behind them in order to get a result against the highly determined New Edubiase side.

At Dansoman, Liberty Professionals will engage Hasaacas, with Berekum Chelsea travelling to Dawu to play Dreams FC in a tight encounter.

Bechem United will play host to Techiman City at Bechem, while a resurgent Ebusua Dwarfs side continue their revival against WAFA in Cape Coast.

Continental campaigners, Medeama SC, will play host to Aduana Stars at the T&A Park in Tarkwa at a later date.
