Hearts of Oak Coach Ouattara Eyes Crucial Victory Against Accra Lions
Head coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, Aboubakar Ouattara, has expressed confidence ahead of his side’s crucial Ghana Premier League clash against Accra Lions, aiming for a full three points in what he anticipates will be a highly competitive encounter.
The Phobians will face off against the relegation-threatened Accra Lions this Friday at the Accra Sports Stadium, with both teams chasing vital points for differing ambitions — Hearts of Oak eyeing a top-four finish and Lions fighting for survival.
In a pre-match interview on Thursday, Coach Ouattara acknowledged the threat posed by Accra Lions and stressed the importance of maintaining focus throughout the match.
“Accra Lions is a good team. This is not going to be a small match. It can be one of the toughest matches for both teams. I hope we can get the maximum points, but it’s going to be difficult,” Ouattara remarked.
The stakes are high for both sides going into the 4 pm kickoff. Hearts of Oak, one of Ghana’s most storied clubs, are looking to close the gap on the top four with just a few games remaining in the season. On the other hand, Accra Lions are desperate to climb out of the relegation zone and will view the match as a must-win.
Coach Ouattara, who has been steadily building confidence within the Hearts squad, believes the team’s preparation will be key.
