Medeama will this afternoon host Hearts of Oak in an outstanding Ghana Premier League matchweek 6 fixture at the Akoon park in Tarkwa.
The Week 6 fixture which was postponed due to Hearts of Oaks’ participation in the CAF Cup competitions will be honoured today, January 12 at 3:00 pm.
Samuel Boadu’s Hearts of Oak side are rising steadily in the table after their unimpressive start to the season.
The Phobians who are chasing their fifth win of the season having played two games less can climb up to fifth should they grab the maximum points against the Mauve and Yellows.

This though looks to be a daunting task as Hearts of Oak are winless in their last 3 visits to Tarkwa and last defeated Medeama in the Western Region in 2016.
Head Coach of Hearts Of Oak Samuel Boadu has named his 20 man Squad.
