KOTOKO, HEARTS CLASHES IN GHANA’S VERSION OF DERBY DELA MADOLINA


Writer: Ebenezer Zor
Defending Champions Kumasi Asante Kotoko will engage in a cliffhanger against bitterest rivals Phobia Accra Hearts of Oak in Ghana’s version of Derby Dela Madolina at Baba Yara Stadium in the first round fixtures of match day seven of the Glo Premier League.

However, this duel will be honoured on 18 November due to it unique nature. But the rest come off this weekend

Kokoto who had won two games out of four successive draws and lies 4th on the league table with ten points will have no stone unturned as meetings between these two glamorous clubs in the country always lived much to be desired. On the other hand Hearts that parted company with Coach C.K Akunnor for poor performance a week ago have a lot to offer though beating RTU  3 – 2 last Sunday for their second win in the season with just three points away from Kotoko.

History have it that both teams since 2009 have crossed part seven times. Kotoko has won thrice, twice wins for Hearts and a draw.


It is going to be a battle between Coach Masud Didi Dramani for the porcupine warriors and Ben Adjei; assistant coach for the Phobians.


After losing to Edubiase by a goal margin, Wa All stars will be at the comfort of their home to face Mysterious Ebusan Dwarfs at the Wa Stadium. Dwarfs 1-0 victory at the expense of King Faisal at Baba Yara Stadium will be a morale booster in this particular encounter.
  
New Edubiase’s 1- 0 win over Wa All Stars would have to clear the cobwebs as they travel to Berekum to square off against Almighty Chelsea at the Golden City Park. Chelsea with 11 points  lies 3rd would like to improve upon their game after Tema Youth hold them to a pulsating one all game.

Mohammed Gago's side RTU commences their ban of playing home matches away as they welcome Humble Tema Youth to the Essipong Stadium in Takoradi. RTU football faithful misconducted themselves in the week five against Medeama at the Tamale Stadium. Can RTU secure their first win?

Scientific soccer Lads who currently occupies 5th position out of the six games so far will take the bull by the horn when they meet league leaders Medeama SC in a fierce contest at the Carl Reindorf Park at Dansoman. Liberty defeated Arsenals whiles Medeama unbeaten record in the season was truncated by Kumasi Asante Kotoko Kofi Nti Boakye’s only goal at the T & A Parl last Sunday.

Ashantigold might try to stick to their unbeaten record in this season as they challenge Aduana Stars for the prize at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi. Both teams accrued three points from Hearts of Lions and Amidaus Professionals in their last games respectively.

The Borbor lads Kpando  Hearts of Lions will be on cloud nine in their home as they invite visitors King Faisal to the Kpando park.  Both clubs would be aiming at the ultimate after losing out to Ashanti gold and Dwarfs in the match day six.

At the tema turf, Amidaus Professionals will battle with Berekum Arsenals in the match seen as may the best side carry the day.
