Berekum Chelsea prepare for a stern challenge as they host unbeaten Hearts of Oak at Golden City Park on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw away to Karela United last weekend, their first league point at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium since 2018, and hope to use that result as a springboard for revival.
Chelsea sit 13th on the table with four points, having scored three and conceded five, but still have a game in hand against Bibiani Gold Stars. Their record against Hearts at home, however, is concerning, having failed to score in their last five home meetings and last winning in April 2018.
Hearts of Oak extended their unbeaten run to 16 matches in all competitions (W10, D6) after a goalless draw with Heart of Lions. The Phobians sit fifth with nine points, scoring just two goals but boasting the league’s best defensive record, remaining unbeaten in their last five visits to Berekum with clean sheets in all.
Coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani stressed his side’s focus: "We always try to control our opponent and the game, especially without the ball. It’s definitely a problem not scoring goals, but we have our identity and we’re working towards that, home or away."
The clash on Sunday promises to test Chelsea’s revival ambitions against a defensively solid Hearts side.
