Dreams FC will host Hearts of Oak at the Tuba Astro Turf on Sunday in a much-anticipated matchweek 7 encounter of the Ghana Premier League.
Both teams are looking to secure important points, but the stakes are particularly high for the hosts, who are still searching for their first win of the season.
Abdul Karim Zito’s boys have had a difficult start to the campaign, currently sitting 17th on the league table with just 3 points.
After six games, they remain winless, having suffered three consecutive defeats and three draws.
Their last outing saw them lose 2-0 to Aduana Stars in Dormaa Ahenkro, adding to their struggles.
With just 2 goals scored and 6 conceded so far, the Believers are keen to turn their fortunes around at home.
A win on Sunday could reignite their season and lift them from the relegation zone.
Hearts of Oak, on the other hand, come into this match on the back of a crucial 2-1 away victory over Young Apostles.
The Phobians have had a mixed campaign so far, sitting 9th in the league with 8 points from 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses.
They have been inconsistent in their performances but will be buoyed by their recent away form, having collected 4 points from 3 away games.
With 4 goals scored and 4 conceded, Hearts of Oak will look to build momentum and climb higher up the table.
