All Stars’ boss, Seth Panwum, says the club aims to dominate the Phobians on home soil just as they did in the 2013/14 season when they handed the Phobians 3-0 defeats in Accra and in Wa, to enhance their quest to win the Premier League title.
He said special incentives have been lined up for the players to motivate them to pull the brakes on Coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi’s charges.
“We have organised a special package for the team. I will not disclose the content but I know we have something special for the boys and so I expect them to beat Hearts at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday,” the All Stars boss told Graphic Sports yesterday.
“We are storming Accra and we know Hearts are in their best of forms but we are also ready for the game.”
Sunday’s top-of-the-table clash pits the league’s best defence (All Stars) against the most potent attack (Hearts). The free-scoring Hearts have scored nine goals while the Wa side has conceded just one goal in five games.
Hearts’ Japanese trainer, Yatsuhashi, has masterminded a brilliant start to the season but faces probably his sternest test yet against second-placed All Stars who have recently built a reputation as a bogey side for the league leaders.
Interestingly, Coach Enos Kwame Adipah’s side also boasts of an historical edge heading into the clash with eight wins, three draws and five losses in their last 16 duels.
