Hearts of Oak midfielder Fredrick Ansah Botchway is confident of victory against arch-rivals Asante Kotoko on match day six of the Ghana Premier League.

The Phobians will welcome the Porcupine Warriors to the Accra Sports stadium on Sunday in Ghana's own version of the 'El Clásico' as the two most successful clubs go head-to-head in Accra.

Hearts are on-form heading into the game, having won two games against Liberty Professionals and Ebusua Dwarfs and drawing goalless against WAFA in Sogakope.

Speaking ahead of the crucial game, the 23-year-old who joined Hearts from Liberty Professionals says he feels no pressure and believes the Phobians will continue their winning streak against Kotoko.

"Its a normal feeling playing against Kotoko on Sunday although it’s one of the biggest game. We will continue our winning streak against Kotoko on Sunday", he told Kumasi FM 104.1 FM.

"I will give my best despite being a new player for the club. It doesn’t put any pressure on me. I believe in good preparation,with that we will be ready for Kotoko.

"It is true the supporters play a major role in such games. They should believe in us to deliver,we will do our best to win."
