Former Hearts of Oak captain Amankwaah Mireku has weighed in on the highly anticipated Super Clash between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, cautioning fans not to make assumptions based on current form.
Speaking with Ghana Sports Page, Mireku highlighted the unpredictable nature of the historic rivalry, reflecting on how times have changed since his playing days.
“Hearts of Oak and Kotoko games are unpredictable. It’s not like our time where you could boldly claim that we will beat Kotoko — like when we beat them 4-0,” he said.
While acknowledging Kotoko’s current strong position, Mireku warned that league standings don’t guarantee victory in a match of this magnitude.
“I think it will be a difficult game. Just because Kotoko are at the top doesn’t mean they will beat Hearts of Oak. It will be difficult, but it could turn for Hearts of Oak,” he added.
The Super Clash remains the biggest fixture in Ghanaian football, with pride, history, and momentum always on the line — regardless of form.
Kotoko have won the last three matches between the two.
The Porcupines are in the title race and would need a win to close in on Bibiani Golds Stars. Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak who are winless in their last four games, are aiming for a win to get back to winning ways.
