The two most glamourous clubs in the country will lock horns at the Baba Yara Stadium in matchday 31 of the Ghana Premier League campaign.
However, both teams have been struggling with form, with the Porcupine Warriors recently losing to Berekum Chelsea whiles Hearts of Oak succumbed to a narrow defeat to Aduana Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium.
“It’s hard time we ask questions. Why is Hearts of Oak players not performing? Are they playing out of hunger? Are the players not being paid? He quizzed.
“I think they don’t any excuse because the leadership of the club has made provisions for the team” he said.
“Both coaches will be under pressure. Imagine Hearts or Kotoko lose this game, there will be absolute pressure. Fans of each team prefers the downfall of the other. If the two coaches have anything to do, they have to because it’s not going to be an easy game. If they have special prayers to embark on, they should do it” he added.
Asante Kotoko defeated Hearts of Oak in the first leg played at the Baba Yara Stadium because of the unavailability of the Accra Sports Stadium at the time.
The Porcupine Warriors are 10th on the league standings whiles Hearts of Oak 12th position after 30 matches so far this season.
