Great Olympics will plan to make use of their home advantage to help in closing the gap to today’s opposition. The home team are currently 4 points behind Hearts of Oak.

Insights:
  • Great Olympics have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Great Olympics have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Hearts of Oak have scored away.

Relegation threatens Great Olympics who should definitely be looking for some points here. Hearts is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. That game was also an away game, at Eleven Wonders. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Hearts of Oak form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hearts of Oak so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 3-6-7 (win-draw-lose). Hearts seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Hearts of Oak lost away at Eleven Wonders (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Late heartbreak for Hearts in the Eleven Wonders match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

A 0-1 defeat away at King Faisal before that.
