Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko go into today’s fixture tied on points at the top of the league standings with 56 points apiece even though Hearts sit on top due to superior goal difference.
Coming into this game Asante Kotoko played a tough game against Karela United where the Porcupine Warriors earned the maximum three points after wining the game 2-1.
But for a controversial penalty scored by Brazilian player, Fabio Gama, Kotoko would have dropped important points.
An in-form Hearts of Oak side also defeated Legon Cities in an Accra Derby on Thursday by 2-1.
The Phobians registered two goals in the first half and later went to bed in the second half as Legon Cities kept probing for a goal.
As keen as today’s game is, some top personalities who ordinarily will not ‘dabble’ in football have all gotten involved in what has been tagged as the biggest and crunchiest game in a long time.
Broadcast journalist, Bernard Avle has high hopes that Accra Hearts of Oak would defeat the Porcupine Warriors, but his fellow compatriot, Afia Pokua believes the Kotoko would carry the day.
