Ex-Kotoko captain Joe Henderick is predicting a heavy 4-0 defeat for the club ahead of their crunch Super clash against Hearts on Monday.

The club's former skipper claims Hearts hold the aces ahead of the titanic clash between the two giants in Accra.

Hearts have enjoyed a relatively impressive campaign so far this season as they lie second on the table.

The Phobians are smarting from the 2-1 win at Ashantigold - their first in nine years, and are primed for a win against the Porcupine Warriors.

However, Kotoko have endured a frustrating campaign so far with their unflattering start to the season clouding the big clash at the Accra sports stadium.

And former captain Joe Hendericks, who won the Premier League crown with Kotoko in 2003, is predicting a 4-0 win for the capital-based side.

"I watched Kotoko in three matches against Sekondi Hasaacas, Dreams FC, and New Edubiase. If you see the way Kotoko played the last game against New Edubiase, I think if Kotoko use that performance on Monday, [Hearts will score a lot of goals]," he told Class Sports

"You remember Hearts of Oak scored Kotoko 4-0 in 2000. The players did not play well on [Saturday] and I think that 4-0 will happen again."
