Struggling Karela United faces a daunting task in Accra Hearts of Oak later this afternoon when they host the side in a Match Week 11 fixture at the Tarkwa Akoon Community Park.
The once-feared side known to be a boogie side to all the giants in the domestic league has been struggling since the ongoing 2019/2020 started in the final weekend of December 2019.
In the last five outings, Karela United has disappointingly lost 3, won 1, and drawn 1 as well. The record underlines the woes of the Anyinase-based club which has left them in the relegation zone.
For their opponent today, Accra Hearts of Oak looks to have gained momentum following a bad start to the campaign. Despite being inconsistent in their last five matches, the Phobians have managed to climb to 7th on the standings and just 3 points behind Ashanti Gold who is top of the pile.
Ahead of the clash between the two-top-flight clubs, the head to head favours Karela United [2 wins] against Hearts of Oak [1 win] in their 3 meetings in the Ghana Premier League.
In a preview to the match, the analysts are predicting a tough encounter but a slim win for the Phobians.
Predicted lineup:
Karela United 1-3 Hearts of Oak.
