Ahead of the highly-anticipated fixture between Legon Cities FC and Hearts of Oak, coach Bashir Hayford says his side is by no means underdogs.
On the back of seven matches in the Ghana Premier League without a defeat prior to today’s match, the Phobians led by head coach Samuel Boadu are tipped as favourites to win the contest.
Taking motivation from the fact that Legon Cities FC earned a draw in the first meeting of the season with Hearts of Oak, coach Bashir Hayford says his team cannot be termed as underdogs.
“We are not going into this game as the underdogs. Not at all. We don’t need to be termed as the underdogs,” the experienced tactician said at a press conference last Tuesday.
According to coach Bashir Hayford, his team stands a very good chance of beating Hearts of Oak if they display the right attitude on the field of play.
“This will be a very difficult game, of course. If we go into the game with the right mentality, mindset, and attitude, we can win,” coach Bashir Hayford added.
The match between Legon Cities FC and Hearts of Oak is scheduled to kick off at 18:00GMT at the Accra Sports Stadium today.
