Premier League giants Accra Hearts of Oak are set to lock horns with Berekum Chelsea this afternoon in a crucial matchday 31 fixture at the Golden City Park in Berekum.
The Phobians currently sit 6th on the league table with 46 points after 30 matches, while Berekum Chelsea trail in 10th position with 41 points from the same number of games. With only a handful of matches remaining in the season, both sides are keen to secure maximum points to improve their standing.
Hearts of Oak will enter the match with a psychological edge, having dominated previous encounters between the two sides. In their last five head-to-head meetings since 2023, the Accra-based club have won three and drawn two, including a resounding 3-0 win in their last visit to Berekum last season.
Recent form paints a contrasting picture for the two clubs. Berekum Chelsea have been inconsistent, losing three of their last five matches while picking up two wins. Hearts of Oak, on the other hand, have drawn three, won one, and lost one in their last five outings.
A win for Hearts of Oak could potentially lift them into the top four, depending on results elsewhere, and strengthen their bid for a strong finish to the season. Berekum Chelsea, however, will be fighting to stay clear of the lower half of the table and protect their home turf.
