Chief Executive of Hearts of Oak, Fred Crentsil insists his side has the credentials to beat arch-rivals Asante Kotoko on Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium despite the team's recent poor showing.
Both giants played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the pre-season friendly dubbed Super 2 at the Baba Yara Stadium last weekend.
Hearts of Oak are seeking to avenge their 2-0 loss to the Porcupine Warriors in Accra last season.
Fred Crentsil believes home advantage will favour Hearts. He told JOY Sports: “When we went to Kumasi everybody said we were going to lose by 4-0. Some even predicted 6-0 against Hearts of Oak but we scored the first goal and we drew 1-1.”
He added, “Accra Sports Stadium is our home ground. We have beaten Kotoko 4-0 there before, so fans should come to the stadium and see the new Hearts of Oak.”
Star players Mahatma Otoo and Uriah Asante who were absent in the first encounter are expected to be available for Hearts of Oak on Saturday.
