There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
2-0-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Hearts of Oak when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eight matches are 7-17 (scored/conceded).
Elmina Sharks form and stats
Seven points from three Premier League home games is a great start for Elmina Sharks, who are hoping to build on that form here at Paa Kwesi Nduom Stadium. Elmina Sharks has recorded two wins in a row here at Paa Kwesi Nduom Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Before that, Elmina had a home game versus Inter Allies which ended with a victory 1-0.
There will be little rest for Elmina after this match as they are travelling to King Faisal for a Premier League game in only four days.
The Elmina fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Elmina Sharks have only let in 1 goal at home.
Hearts of Oak form and stats
Things could have gone better for Hearts of Oak in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Hearts had fun at their own home (Paa Kwesi Nduom Stadium) last time out, beating Bechem United 6-1. Ahead of that match was the victory versus King Faisal at their stadium, the result 2-1.
As mentioned above, Hearts of Oak was the only team on the pitch versus Bechem United in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Eleven Wonders in just four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hearts as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Hearts of Oak in these games.
