Hearts of Oak will look to extend their unbeaten run to three games as they face Aduana FC in a crucial encounter at their adopted home, the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon.
After a shaky start to the season with back-to-back defeats, the Phobians have stabilised, recording a draw and a win in their last two games.
Currently positioned 13th in the league standings with four points, Hearts of Oak will be eager to secure another victory and build momentum.
Aduana FC, on the other hand, are still searching for their first win of the season, having drawn two and lost one of their opening three games.
The team sit 17th in the standings with just two points.
Despite their current form, Aduana have historically been a tough opponent for Hearts of Oak. In their last 19 meetings, Aduana have won 8 times, while Hearts of Oak have only managed three victories, with 8 matches ending in draws.
Notably, Hearts have not scored against Aduana in their last 5 league meetings and have only defeated them once in their last 14 encounters.
Aduana’s away form has been concerning, with just one win in their last 14 matches on the road.
However, Hearts of Oak have struggled to break through Aduana’s defence in recent matches, and the history between these teams suggests a low-scoring affair.
Interestingly, in 100% of Hearts of Oak’s last three games against Aduana, under 2.5 goals were scored, further pointing to a potential defensive battle.
Despite the challenges, Hearts of Oak will be confident heading into this fixture, and with the backing of their fans at the University of Ghana Stadium, they’ll aim to capitalise on Aduana’s poor away form.
Per available data, Hearts of Oak have a 42% chance of victory, but they’ll need to overcome their recent struggles against Aduana to come out on top.
