GPL: Hearts of Oak is a difficult test regardless of current form – Nebojsa Kapor

Medeama Head Coach Nebojsa Kapor has described Hearts of Oak’s position on the league table as unfortunate, emphasizing that his team won’t underestimate the Phobians this season.

The two clubs are set to face off this weekend at the Tarkwa TNA Sports Stadium in a matchweek 9 encounter, with Hearts under significant pressure, leading some fans to call for Head Coach Aboubakar Ouattara’s dismissal.

Despite Hearts’ recent form, Coach Kapor considers the upcoming match a challenging test for his side.

Yeah, this is a very difficult situation for them [Hearts of Oak]

They didn’t start the thing, but you know this match is always excellent for every day opponent because they are a very big team, one of the biggest in Africa.

And I’m very happy always when we are playing much like this much and it doesn’t matter the position of the table.

This is always excellent match for us. And like I told, I’m very happy because of this.

We are preparing always like they are the best because they are really always always they have good players.

I didn’t realize what is their problem.

I don’t deal with other teams, but we should prepare our team well.

Medeama SC hosts Hearts of Oak at the TnA Stadium in Tarkwa on Friday night(November 1, 2024) in what is expected to be an absorbing  Premier League match day 9.

The Mauve and Yellow threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Aduana FC in their last match and will be eager to rewrite the script in front of their home fans.

Hearts of Oak’s inconsistency continued last weekend after losing 1-0 at home to Gold Stars FC. The Phobians must dig deep to overcome the former Premier League champions in Tarkwa.

Kick-off 18:00 GMT (6 pm local time).
