Head coach of Hearts of Oak, Aboubakar Ouattara has reacted to their week 32 Ghana Premier League fixture against Accra Lions at the Legon Sports Stadium on Friday May 23.

The Phobians are safe from relegation – sitting in 5th on the league log with 49 points but Accra Lions need all three points badly to keep their survival chances alive as they languish in 16th on 35 points same as Karela United.

The Ivorian tactician said: “[We are] doing the same preparations and you know because we are playing against one of the prolific attacking and one of the great defending club in the league.

“Despite the position of Accra Lions, it is one of the strongest teams in the league and we are prepared and we will try to take advantage of this situation and the players are focused.

“I want all of us to know that Accra Lions have a good side and one of the strong team and you know in the first round we suffered against them in Sogakope where we managed to win but it was not a small match and Friday also can be one of the tough match.” Aboubakar Ouattara spoke to Hearts TV.

There are other top fixtures for the week 32 with the Premier League title race intensifying among Nations FC, Gold Stars, Hearts of Lions and Asante Kotoko.
