Didi Dramani said: “I think that mentally matches involving Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko devoid of the standards, everybody knows the importance of it and more importantly we want to keep the pressure on the league leaders and so the points at stake is so important,” Didi Dramani told Hearts TV.

“We are very focused in terms of what to do to be able to achieve that standard of gaining three points [and] the areas we focus around these days is presenting the right personality and also the character level and so we want to have the attitude that will present us with the right personalities and also the character of going into the game with the right might.”

Hearts of Oak currently share 36 points with reigning champions GoldStars with 21 games played.
