“Legon Cities have been disturbing all the big clubs in the league, so we are preparing well to face them. Everyone is focused on this match,” Ouattara told the club’s media.
Hearts of Oak will be hoping to avoid any slip-ups against a Legon Cities side with nothing to lose, as they push to finish the campaign on a strong note.
