Hearts of Oak are it again and this time it’s against WAFA in the ultimate round of games in the Ghana Premier League 2021-21 at the Accra Sports Stadium.



Since the departure of Kosta Papic, the home side has enjoyed a new lease form under interim coach, Samuel Nii Noi, who masterminded their impressive showings in the last three matches, picking seven from a possible nine points in three matches.

The top hierarchy of Hearts under the able leadership of Tobe Afede XIV has appointed Samuel Boadu tasked with the mandate of helping the capital-based club reclaim its glory days.

The home side has been very dominant on their home turf amassing 15 points aiding them to 7^th on the log with 24 points.

The likes of Victor Aidoo (6), K.Obeng Junior (4), and Umar Manaf (3) have been firing but they need to up their game under the new coach, Samuel Boadu.

Prosper Narteh’s WAFA are bad travelers in the league, they have picked 4 points in as many games. Lawrence Agyekum, Augustine Boakye, Dwamena Michael Kyei will have to give off their best considering their bad run of form in the ongoing league.

The Sogakope Red Bull Arena will see WAFA play host to AshantiGold, who are keenly eyeing to win the league for the first time in so many years.

The home-based setup have not fared particularly well on the road this season, their only win came against Eleven Wonders at the Ohene Ameyaw Park.

Having lost to Dreams and Aduana Stars, former player of the side Samuel Tetteh, who played with the side some two seasons alluded their poor run of results on the road to bad pitches across the various league centres and bad officiating.

The absence of three first-team players Daniel Lomotey, Daniel Owusu Forson Amankwah to foreign clubs will certainly disrupt the rhythm, tactics, and selection of Prosper Narteh but hopefully, he has the resources at his disposal to choose from heading into a tricky fixture against the Aboakese side.

Ashgold lost their home fixture to Liberty Professionals by 1-0 at home and that should spur them on to get better results as they travel to Sogakope.

The likes of Appiah McCarthy, Hans Kwoffie, and others may have to bring their Agame to bare if they are to get anything out of this tight contest.
