Accra Hearts of Oak will host Aduana FC in a highly anticipated Premier League matchday 5 fixture on Friday, October 4, 2024, at the University of Ghana Stadium. The Phobians are looking to secure their second consecutive home win of the 2024/25 season in a matchup that promises excitement and intensity.
After a challenging start to the season, Hearts of Oak revived their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Bechem United and followed it up with a hard-fought draw against Nations FC last weekend. They now return to the capital determined to build on this momentum. Kickoff is scheduled for 18:00 GMT (6:00 pm local time).
Hearts of Oak currently sit mid-table with one win, one draw, and two losses. Coach Yaw Acheampong’s side will be eager to grab another three points and climb up the standings.Meanwhile, Aduana FC find themselves struggling at the 17th position with just two points after four games.
The two-time league champions have endured two straight defeats followed by two consecutive draws. They have scored only four goals while conceding six, and remain winless heading into this fixture. Aduana also holds the unfortunate record of most away defeats (14) in the league since 2023.
Hearts of Oak and Aduana FC have faced each other three times at home since the 2020/21 season, with Hearts winning once, drawing once, and suffering two defeats. Most recently, Aduana FC defeated the Phobians 1-0 at home in the 2023/24 season.
Both coaches, Yaw Acheampong of Hearts and Abubakar Ouattara of Aduana, will be under pressure to secure a much-needed win in this crucial encounter at the University of Ghana Stadium.
