League leaders, Kumasi Asante Kotoko, play host to Heart of Lions at the Baba Yara Stadium tomorrow, while second placed Accra Hearts of Oak face Ashantigold at the Accra Sports Stadium in the stand-out clashes in seven First Capital Plus Premier League ties slated for tomorrow.
Last Sunday, Kotoko’s second string side was stretched by Istanbul FC in their MTN FA Cup duel and Coach Didi Dramani should expect more of the same against perennially stubborn Lions.
Fifth-placed Lions have already beaten Kotoko 2-0 this season in the reverse fixture at Kpando last year.
Mohammed Polo and his new look Phobian support staff, which includes Eben Armah Dida as goalkeepers’ trainer and Yaw Amankwaa Mireku, team manager, face their first test when Ashantigold Ashgold) come calling.
Ashgold, who beat the Phobians 1-0 in the first round at Obuasi, are keen on extending their dominance stretching back to February 2012.
Elsewhere, Inter Allies and Berekum Chelsea meet for the second time in four days at the Tema Park after Allies shocked them 1-0 in the MTN FA Cup round of 16 last Sunday.
