Football fans reckon Hearts of Oak will beat Asante Kotoko in Sunday's Super Clash at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Phobians will host their fiercest rival Kotoko on match day 25 of the First Capital Plus Bank Premier League, a game dubbed as a ‘battle for survival’ due to the current positions of the two teams.

Hearts sit at the 14th position with 29 points and Kotoko 11th position with 32 points.

A poll conducted by Allsports.com.gh asked the question: Who wins Sunday's Super Clash.

Over 56% of survey respondents said Hearts of Oak will triumph over the Porcupine Warriors, with 44% keen on seeing Asante Kotoko winning on Sunday.

Hearts triumphed in the first leg at the Baba Yara Stadium earlier this year, and will be hoping to replicate the feat. But the quest of Kotoko, who are equally struggling in the league, to pay their rivals in their own coin is what has heightened tensions ahead of the game.

The Phobians again recorded a win over Kotoko this season in the 1st July Presidents' Cup in Accra.
