Former champions, Hearts of Oak will be chasing their third consecutive win in the season against Karela United at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday in week six of the BetPawa Premier League.
In their last meeting at the Accra Sports Stadium, the game ended in a draw while Karela United are unbeaten against Hearts of Oak in their last four games, winning one and drawing the remaining three matches.

Hearts new coach Slavko Matic have won two matches in the Ghanaian top-flight since he took over from Samuel Boadu.
However, there could be notable tweak for today’s game as the Phobians look to climb to the top four before the World Cup. Barnieh returned from national duty to inspire them to a 1-0 win away against Kotoku Royals last weekend.
Going into the game, there will be no change in the goalkeeping department. Richmond Ayi will start ahead of the former Legon Cities goalkeeper, Eric Ofori Antwi.
In defense, Robert Addo Sowah will line-up alongside Inkoom, Korsah and Caleb.
