Preview: Berekum Chelsea vs Hearts of Oak

Saddick Adams Saddick Adams

Berekum Chelsea's four year home unbeaten record could be under serious threat when they host bruised Hearts of Oak at the Golden City Park in the Ghana Premier League 11th week on Sunday.

This clash is definitely the top-liner of the weekend.

Berekum Chelsea have plans of inflicting another on the Phobians to extend their unbeaten home run to forty-three matches.

The one-time league winners will be dearly missing their captain and top scorer Saddick Adams, who is travelling with the local Black Stars to Japan.

With the exception of Saddick, head coach Solomon Odwo has a fully fit side to play Hearts of Oak on Sunday.

On the other hand, Hearts of Oak are expected to recover rapidly from their painful loss to long-term rivals Asante Kotoko at home last Monday.

Burkina Faso goalkeeper Soulama Abdoulaye is suspended from Sunday's epic clash after he was sent off on Monday.

Versatile defender Owusu Bempah looks very doubtful for the Berekum trip.

Richard Yamoah, Thomas Abbey, Isaac Oduro and Selasi Adjei are still on the sidelines.

Samudeen Ibrahim could feature for Hearts of Oak if he is passed fit to play.
