Heartland lost away at Wikki Tourist (2-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can tell from the result, the match against Wikki Tourist was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Kwara United.
