After thirty-one days without league action in the Ghanaian Premier League, the second stanza of the competition continues with Hearts of Oak, who have now gone six games without a defeat, facing off against Young Apostles FC at the University of Ghana Stadium tomorrow. This game is so crucial to both teams as a win for Hearts of Oak takes them to the top of the log, while a victory for Young Apostles FC reignites their hopes of survival. 

Hearts of Oak (4th)

Last five games: WWDDW

Ouattara Aboubakar's men head here without a defeat in six matches, defeating Hearts of Lions on their ground. It wasn’t an easy game for Hearts of Oak, but they came out unhurt against a strong opponent. Since the victory, they have been knocked out of the FA Cup tournament and now have GPL to fight for this season. Hearts of Oak will hope to reclaim the top spot with a win against their opponent tomorrow. 

Hearts of Oak have amassed thirty-three points from a combined fifty-seven, scoring seventeen and conceding ten.

They have also kept eleven clean sheets in their last nineteen matches in the league. Hearts of Oak have had a terrible home record, winning five over nine home matches.

Young Apostles (10th)

Last five matches: LWDWW

In their attempt to survive relegation this season, Young Apostles have now gone four games without a loss. Before the break, they defeated Nations FC and Nsoatreman. It has been a disappointing season for the newly promoted side, who have managed six wins in this campaign. The guests' momentum has been strong lately, winning three of their last four away games. 

Young Apostles have picked up twenty-four points from a combined fifty-seven, scoring thirteen and conceding eighteen. They have drawn twice, lost five, and won two games on the road since promotion. 

Expert Betting Tips

The reverse leg ended in a comfortable (1-2) victory for Hearts of Oak on the road, and they’ll be keen to replicate such a performance at home tomorrow. It seems as if the hosts' momentum have dropped during the break as they have played three friendly games without a breakthrough. Hearts of Oak, who have one of the best defenses in the league, will likely secure the maximum points against an inexperienced Young Apostles.

Hearts of Oak must win this game to gain ground in their attempt to challenge for the Premier League title this campaign. This game is not as easy as it seems, and we think the guests also stand a chance of securing at least a point. The guests will be bumped up against the Phobians just because they’re a top team, but I expect Hearts of Oak to exert pressure on them; bet on a home win and under 3.5 goals for 1.75 at (1xbet).

I also think this game will produce more goals after the break for 2.20 at (Betway).

Hearts of Oaks will be keen to win and keep a clean sheet here; bet on BTTS No for 1.61 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
