Can Hearts break Bechem jinx?

Premier League title-chasers, Accra Hearts of Oak face a must-win match when they travel to a tough ground at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park to lock horns with Bechem United as they seek to return to winning ways tomorrow.

Hearts will find it difficult to win at a venue they lost 1-3 to their opponents last season but with their recent performances, the Phobians can at least earn a point from the game.

The Phobians have not beaten Bechem United away in four years, making the clash a very interesting one as a win could enhance their chances of winning the title.

Coach Frank Nuttal faces a tough task to end a poor run of games by Hearts at Bechem and needs to revive players such as skipper Thomas Abbey, Vincent Atinga, Robin Gnagne, Patrick Razak, Cosmos Dauda, Kwame Kizito, Malik Akowuah among others from their painful 4-1 penalty defeat to arch rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko in last Monday's President's Cup.

Bechem United on the other hand are confident of maintaining their dominance over Hearts to propel them to the top four bracket.

Now 10th on the log, Bechem are hopeful of beating Hearts to continue their quest to finish the season on a higher note as the league enters the closing stages.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko will be boosted by their triumph over Hearts in the President's Cup when they welcome Medeama to the Baba Yara Stadium in their bid to extend their winning streak to three.

Though Kotoko appear to be in a better position to carry the day, Medeama equally possess quality players who can upset them in this anticipated tough game.

Title contenders, Aduana Stars, will travel to the Carl Reindorf Park at Dansoman to face Liberty Professionals in another dicey battle, while Elmina Sharks host bottom club, Bolga AllStars, in a relegation dogfight at the Nduom Stadium.
