Hearts of Oak quest to return from Wa with all the points coupled with All Stars’ desire to extended their lead has raised the stakes in their mid week clash today.
Like the home side, the visitors will do themselves a great deal of good should they claw all the points.
Hearts have come under intense pressure from their followers to win regardless of the venue having picked just a point from a maximum of six points in their last two encounters.
A win will not only return the Phobians to the summit, but will save its Portuguese trainer Sergio Traguil the probability of losing his job.
All Stars on the other hand resolve to make a statement this season and their home invincibility makes the game dicey for Hearts.
In all their meetings with Hearts at Wa, the Phobians have prevailed just once, with most of the games going in favour of All Stars.
The Kotoko-Aduana Stars game promises to ignite similar fireworks taking into consideration what ensued between the two the last time they met in Dormaa.
Indeed, it was the outcome of that game that led to former head coach David Duncan exit, and indications are that the Porcupine Warriors are bent on paying the visitors, who are placed in second position back in their own coin.
Other games will see Techiman City welcoming bottom-placed New Edubiase, while Dwarfs travel to play Inter Allies in Tema.
Chelsea will stay at the Golden City Park to face Hasaacas with Liberty Professionals playing as guests of Ashgold.
At Sogakope, WAFA will host Dreams FC, while Confederation Cup campaigners Medeama SC play as guests of Bechem United.
