Hearts of Oak vs Asante Kotoko Prediction: The home team is the favourite in this intriguing Derby

Two of the most successful teams in the Ghanaian Premier League will lock horns at the Accra Sports Complex on Sunday. It has been a tidy Derby over the last five games; however, we expect a more open game this weekend. This clash comes with a big reward as the winner walks home with GHS 50,000 cash, and President of Ghana Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo will be in attendance.

The Phobians have floundered in recent games, with just one win over the last five. Hearts of Oak lost back-to-back games against Aduana Stars and Accra Great Olympics. They recently suffered a shocking defeat on the road as a lone goal from the home side sealed the points for them.

Their new Serbian manager has brought belief and enthusiasm into the squad; however, they have failed to impress lately. They occupy the sixth spot on the log with eight points behind Aduana Stars.

Hearts of Oak have won three, drawn five, and lost twice over the last ten home games.

The Porcupine Warriors returned to winning ways as they secured all the points against Bechem United. Asante Kotoko's goal came in the 21st minute when Enock Morrison found the back of the net. Before the game, the Porcupine Warriors lost to Aduana Stars in the Ghanaian FA Cup.

The Ghanaian giants' performance have been below par this campaign, having won eight, drawn seven, and recorded four defeats in the last nineteen matches.

Asante Kotoko have won two, lost four, and drawn four times over the past ten away matches.

The last twenty meetings have seen Asante Kotoko with nine wins, while Hearts of Oak have managed four victories and seven games ending in a share of the spoils. The champions were denied all the points in the first leg of the Derby after a controversial penalty was awarded to Hearts of Oak. Both sides have not been able to perform at the highest level this season. However, this is not just a derby game; the winner will walk home with a cash reward. We expect a more open game here; bet on BTTS for 2.20.

In this campaign, Asante Kotoko have had one of their worst forms on the road in a season with just two wins away from home. We expect the home side to win or draw and score more than once for 2.10.

Overall, both sides might settle for a share of the spoils for 2.70.

Good luck!
