GPL: Hearts of Oak vs Nations FC Preview
Hearts of Oak will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on Nations FC in a Ghana Premier League encounter at the Tuba Astro Turf on Thursday afternoon.
The Phobians come into this fixture after a 1-1 draw with Bibiani Gold Stars on March 23. However, defensive issues have plagued them, conceding in three consecutive matches. A stronger backline could be key to securing all three points and easing the pressure on head coach Aboubakar Ouattara.
Nations FC, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw by Vision FC in their last outing. Their struggles in attack are a concern, having failed to score in three straight away matches.
Since December 2023, the two teams have faced off three times, with Hearts of Oak winning once, while the other two meetings ended in draws. Their last clash in September 2024 ended in a 0-0 stalemate.
Hearts of Oak currently have 37 points, just one point ahead of Nations FC. With both teams chasing a strong finish to the season, this match promises to be a closely contested battle.
