Local rivals Hearts of Oak and Great Olympics will reignite their rivalry come Sunday with Olympics technically the home side. 

Unlike their previous encounters where the Dade boys come in as underdogs Olympics now are on an impressive run, picking 7 points from a possible 9 in their last 3 games of which 2 were away from home.

Hearts on the other hand by their own lofty standards are having a topsy turvy season, win today, and lose tomorrow.

They are yet to win an away game since their lone goal victory over Kotoko at Kumasi in the 6th Week on the 7th of February.

Dan Quaye Vs Reuben Gnagne
Dan ‘Kofi Wayo’ Quaye himself a Hearts Legend helping the phobia boys to rule Africa over a decade ago will come up against his former club.

He’s been impressive in recent weeks as the wonder club have conceded just a goal in their last 4 league outings partly due to his experience in marshaling the defense.

Reuben Gnagne
The Ivorian import hasn’t been vintage this season but still remains one of the best in the Ghana League. He combines brain and brawn in his defensive  duties and also a threat in dead ball situations.

These two stalwarts should wing the momentum of the game with the most inform player on the day likely to play a key role in where the points ends up ultimately.
