Speaking in his pre-match interview, Didi Dramani indicated that he anticipates a tough contest against the opponent due to their aggressive style of play.

Hearts of Oak are aware of Heart of Lions threat

“Heart of Lions are one of the toughest opponents in the league. They are very compact, and they are very aggressive.

“They are a ball-playing side. And so, we need to really be strong in our second actions. We need to be very, very decisive in terms of closing up central spaces, and we need to be very, very intense in terms of our pressing situations,” Didi Dramani told Hearts TV.

Good Morning, Phobians!

A new week. A new opportunity.
