CONFIRMED: Hearts of Oak’s starting XI for this afternoon’s make-or-break encounter with Berekum Chelsea published – Attah starts, Obeng Jnr and Otanga benched

Accra Hearts of Oak must beat Berekum Chelsea to secure Premier League safety.

The Rainbows head into this game of sitting in 11th place with 45 points, three points away from the danger zone.

If Hearts of Oak lose, they will have to hope that one of the teams behind them will slip, but they will be desperate to claim victory this afternoon.

The former champions will probably be the favourites, having picked up three wins from their last three meetings with the Berekum-based club. The last time these two sides met in the league, Hearts picked up a 3-1 win in Accra. And they will be hoping to complete a league double over the Bibires.

Coach David Ocloo’s are without Eric Esso due to the red card he against RTU.

Richard Attah is starting in posts. Robert Addo Sowah will start in central defence along with Francis Adjetey. Inkoom and Korsah will occupy the right-back and the left-back role.

In midfield, Linda Mtange will start with Enoch Asuboteng as they look to protect the defenders and feed the attackers.

Albert Diego Dieudonne is set to lead line with Suraj Seidu, Amankwah Baafi and Gideon Asante Yeboah.
