Nebojsa Kapor wants better preparation from Hearts of Oak as they chase Ghana Premier League title momentum against Vision FC on the AstroTurf.
Hearts of Oak are pushing for consistency in the Ghana Premier League, and coach Nebojsa Kapor is making it clear that the work does not stop after a morale-boosting win. The Phobians visit Vision FC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema Newtown on Saturday, October 17, with kickoff set for 15:00 GMT in a Matchday 7 clash.
Kapor is wary of leaning on past meetings between the sides. Both squads have changed, he argues, and what happened last season counts for nothing now. In his words, the next game is always the most important one, and he wants his players locked in on that.
Hearts arrive in better spirits after a 1-0 victory over Port City FC, which ended a three-match winless run. The result steadied the ship, and the challenge now is to turn one win into a proper run of form that keeps them firmly in the title conversation.
The artificial pitch adds another layer. Kapor believes the AstroTurf will demand a different tactical approach and sharper preparation than a typical match day, and he expects a game unlike earlier encounters. Hearts sit second on 11 points, three behind leaders Medeama, so dropping points on a tricky surface could prove costly in a tight race at the top.
