BIG GAME TODAY: Hearts Vrs Kotoko

THE STREETS of Accra resemble a carnival procession as fans of Ghana's big two - Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko gather for tonight's match.

As the premier league enters its fourth week, the two top teams clash at the same venue where history was made when Hearts famously defeated Kotoko 4-0.

This evening's game might go either way but the eliminated African Champions, Hearts of Oak go into the game as favourites.

In other premier league games, Ghapoha FC welcome troubled Obusai Goldfields to the Tema Stadium, while Great Olympics travel from Accra to Sunyani to play as guest of Bofoakwa Tana at the Coronation Park.

At the Len Clay stadium, Obuasi Adansiman will host Dawu Youngsters, whilst Okwawu United welcome Real Tamale United to the Nkawkaw Park.

The Asoum Park will see home side Kwaebibirem United take on Liberty Professionals.

Maxbees FC, the most impressive new entrants to the league, will travel to the Sekondi Gyandu Park and pitch their strength against Hasaacas.

In Kumasi, King Faisal will seek to make easy prey of Berekum Arsenals at the Kumasi sports stadium.

Apart from the matches in Accra and Kumasi, which begin at 5.30pm (GMT), all other games will kick off at 3pm.
