BA United to stretch Hearts on Sunday

Fresh from their first leg  CAF Confederation Cup victory over Senegalese side, Olympique de Ngor,  Accra Hearts of Oak are poised to win their second consecutive game when they clash with bottom-club Brong Ahafo (BA) United on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Phobians have endured a patchy spell which has  seen them lying 13th on the league log with 12 points, five points ahead of strugglers BA United, who have already fired two coaches after 10 games.

Former BA United coach, Mohammed Gargo, was fired after playing only a single game when he accused his players of engaging in match-fixing, shortly after their 1-2 home loss to Wa All Stars.

BA United are therefore likely to give Hearts a battle of their lives on Sunday with the view to escaping the relegation net.

All Stars, lying seventh on the league table, host third-place Inter Allies at the Wa Sports Stadium, with league leaders, Ashanti Gold, facing  Sekondi Hasaacas at the Len Clay Sports Stadium.  At  Berekum, there will be fireworks when  Chelsea clash with Heart of Lions  at  the Golden City Park.

In the weekend’s early clash on Saturday, West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) will clash with Aduana Stars at Sogakope.
