Hearts of Oak will host Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium this afternoon in a matchweek 31 fixture.
The Phobians have maintained a consistent starting XI in competitive league games barring any injuries or absenteeism from an international assignment in their last 10 games or so.
Samuel Boadu, since taking over, has preferred Richard Attah in post with Congolese Raddy Ovouka, Fatawu Mohammed, Robert Addo and Mohammed Alhassan comprising of the back four. Benjamin Afutu Kotey, Emmanuel Nettey and Salifu Ibrahim completing a midfield trident.
Salifu’s role has been more of a free role and the former Eleven Wonders man has been a thorn in the flesh of most teams with vision and talent that permits him to deliver passes that are able to break more than defensive lines to locate the precise runs of either Barnieh or Obeng Junior.
Obeng Junior has scored 9 times in the league, just a goal shy of the combined numbers of Kotoko’s top two scorers (10).
Hearts of Oak possible line up:
Richard Attah (GK), Fatawu Mohammed (C), Mohammed Alhassan, Robert Addo Sowah, Raddy Ovouka; Emmanuel Nettey; Benjamin Afutu, Afriyie Barnieh; Ibrahim Salifu; Kojo Obeng Junior, Patrick Razak.
