Former Hearts of Oak midfielder Esme Mends has predicted doom for the Asante Kotoko as the two big guns meet over the weekend.
Asante Kotoko will host Hearts of Oak at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, February 28, 2021, to clear one of their outstanding matches.
The fiercest derby on the Ghanaian soil and one of the great derbies in Africa always come with different excitement following how supporters of both teams rate this particular match.
Though supporters are not allowed to watch the game from the stands due to COVID-19 pandemic, the match is promised to live up to expectation.
Both teams are in some aesthetic form to sell out good game to football fanatics.
Hearts have recorded two wins in their last two games while Asante Kotoko equally hold such record.
Before former Hearts midfielder, Esme Mends believes that his former side had got what it takes to beat the Porcupine Warriors.
“We are going to beat Kotoko by 2-0 come Sunday and one of the goals will come from the spot kick,” Esme Mends told Ghanasportspage.com in an exclusive interview.
He reckoned that Patrick Razak has hit top gear of his career and will torment the defence men of Asante Kotoko.
“Patrick Razak is a smart guy and he is going to make the difference in Sunday’s goal. I know he will torment Kotoko’s defence and through that there will be a penalty for Hearts of Oak.” Esme Mends told ghanasportspage.com
