Interim coach Edward Nii Odoom endured the worst possible start to his Hearts of Oak managerial career after watching his side suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Medeama SC on matchday 2.
The result meant that for the first time in nine years, the Phobians have lost their first two opening games in the Ghana Premier League.
Hearts’ attacking deficiencies have been well documented this season as the 20 time Premier League champions are yet to score a goal in their opening two games.
Against Medeama, Hearts failed to register a shot on target in Tarkwa, further deepening their attacking woes.
The Accra based giants are one spot above last place and will hope to turn things around as they host Ebusua Dwarfs, who themselves have been far from brilliant this season.
The Mysterious Dwarfs started their campaign with a 3-1 loss to Medeama at home and faced a similar outcome in their away trip to WAFA, conceding two goals without reply.
They are now one spot above the relegation zone and will seek a positive result to move up the standings.
In recent years, Hearts of Oak have dominated this fixture winning the last three encounters whilst scoring an average of two goals per game.
Nii Odoom will see this match as a wonderful opportunity for his side to pick up their first three points of the season.
