Public Relations Officer of Hearts of Oak, Kwame Opare Addo says his outfit is facing a challenging times due to the club’s poor run of form.
The Phobians have been in dismal form, losing six out of their last seven games in the Ghanaian top-flight.
The club’s defeat at home against RTU have dragged the team into the relegation mire as they are 11th on the league standings with 45 points which makes their final match away to Berekum Chelsea a must win.
"We will say we are in hard times on the pitch because the results have not gone our way in the past few matches and nobody is running away from it.
"This is not what we prepare week in and week out for. So we admit that since the results have not gone well, it has not been positive for us in the last few games," he told Asempa FM.
On Sunday, the Premier League giants succumbed to their fourth consecutive defeat as they were beaten 1-2 by RTU at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Linda Mtange shot the Phobians into the lead but goals from Abdul Manaf Umar and Stephen Badu Dankwah ensured the Pride of the North secured the three maximum points in the penultimate clash.
The 2020/2021 Ghana Premier League champions will pay a trip to Golden City Park to face Berekum Chelsea on the final day of the season.
