Hearts of Oak head coach Aboubakar Ouattara wants the club to finish in the top four when they host Samartex in their final game of the season.

The Phobians face the defending champions with an aim to secure all three points and hope that Heart of Lions lose to Nations FC, allowing Hearts to break into the top four.

The Ivorian coach spoke to Hearts TV ahead of the clash at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, June 8. “We have prepared well despite we have injured players and apart from that we have a big motivation,” Ouattara told Hearts TV.

“We need to try and get into the top four and that motivation is very high and we know the team which are coming is the defending champion, people have forgotten quickly. “It’s not going to be easy for us and that team play well and have good individuals.

“I know they are determined to win this match, and we are also determined to win. “I know we will have a good game and I hope that by full time, Insha Allah, we’ll have secured all three points."

The record FA Cup holders sit fifth with 55 points, two behind fourth-placed Heart of Lions, heading into the final round of matches.
