The Tarkwa Municipality will be buzzing with excitement today as former Ghana Premier League (GPL) champions, Accra Hearts of Oak, face off against defending league champions, Medeama SC, in a highly anticipated week 25 match at the Akoon Park.
The rivalry between these two teams has always been intense, with games leaving fans on the edge of their seats for the full 90 minutes. Today’s clash promises to be no different.
Both teams are coming off successive defeats and will be eager to bounce back with a win. For the hosts, who recently suffered losses to Accra Lions and Samartex, this match is a chance to appease their fans and they will be aiming for nothing less than three points.
In their last five encounters, Medeama has emerged victorious twice while losing the other matches. The last time they faced off at the Akoon Park, Hearts of Oak secured a 1-0 win. They will be looking to replicate that success and come out on top in this crucial fixture.

Nations FC, who are just two points behind Samartex FC, will be hoping for a Legon Cities victory as they aim to secure their own win against bottom-placed Real Tamale United at Naa Sheriga Sports Centre.
Third-placed Aduana Stars will face Bofokwa Tano at the Sunyani Coronation Park as they continue their pursuit of the top spot. Accra Great Olympics, coming off a loss to Nations FC, will look to bounce back against Bechem United at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Following their victory over Hearts of Oak, Bibiani Gold Stars will take on Karela United at Dun’s Park. The Kpando Sports Stadium will witness a Lions showdown as Accra Lions visit Heart of Lions, while Dreams FC play Berekum Chelsea at the Golden City Park.
At the Baba Yara Stadium, Asante Kotoko will aim to get back to winning ways against Nsoatreman FC.
