Hearts of Oak head coach Mas-ud Didi Dramani has acknowledged the quality of FC Samartex ahead their crucial Ghana Premier League Matchday 33 encounter on Sunday.
The Phobians will travel to Samreboi hoping to complete a league double over Samartex after winning the first-leg 1-0 in December last year courtesy of an early strike from Hamza Issah.
However, Samartex will be determined to gain revenge on home soil as both sides continue their push for a strong finish to the season.
Speaking ahead of the game, Hearts coach Didi Dramani admitted his side will face a difficult challenge against a very competitive Samartex team.
“They are very compact, they are very aggressive, and they are a good side, so we need to be strong in our second actions,” he said.
The Hearts trainer also emphasized the need for his players to remain sharp and disciplined throughout the contest.
“We need to be decisive, and we need to be very quick in closing the gaps,” he added.
Despite acknowledging Samartex’s strengths, Dramani remains optimistic his side can secure a positive result away from home.
“We acknowledge their strength, but we are going to try our best to come back with a very important result,” he concluded.
The game is slated for 15:00GMT (3:00PM) on Sunday, May 17, at the Nsenkyire Sports Complex.
