Hearts of Oak striker Cosmos Dauda have told Great Olympics to be ready for the backlash in Sunday's Accra derby.

The Phobians are badly hurt last Sunday when they lost 2-0 at Dormaa against Aduana Stars.

It was the the season's first defeat for Hearts of Oak and they bounce back to winning ways to get their campaign back on track.

Dauda says he and his teammates will go all out against their city-rivals in the weekend's top liner.

''Preparations will be more intensive ahead of our next game, when you lose in a game like this, you make sure you don’t repeat the same performance in your next game,'' Dauda said in a post-match interview to Aduana Stars.

''So I believe we’re going back to Accra and work harder, to make sure this kind of result doesn’t repeat.''
