Table-topping Hearts of Oak striker John Antwi says road wins are the price of a Ghana Premier League crown as Basake Holy Stars visit Accra.
Ghana's biggest club is thinking like a champion. Hearts of Oak striker John Antwi says the Phobians can only lift the Ghana Premier League trophy if they learn to grind out results away from Accra, and he sees the latest road win as proof they are on the right track.
The Phobians arrive at Matchweek 8 on the back of a 1-0 victory over Vision FC, with Kwesi Asmah scoring the only goal. Antwi described that result as a key one in the title race, telling Hearts TV that a side with championship ambitions has to pick up points on the road.
The numbers back up the confidence. Hearts sit top of the table with 14 points from seven games, and the pressure is on to keep that momentum going. Next up is a Friday clash with Basake Holy Stars at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, where the visitors will be hoping to frustrate the league leaders and take something from the game.
The history between the sides suggests it could be a tight one. Last season, their meeting in Accra finished goalless, before Hearts claimed the win in the return fixture away from home. Kickoff is set for 5:00 pm on Friday, and the Phobians will want to turn that road-win mentality into another three points in front of their own fans.
