CAF CL: Hearts v CI Kamsar preview

Hearts of Oak have the opportunity to reach the final round of qualification if they manage to get one over Guinean side CI Kamsar on Sunday.

The Phobians booked a place in the Champions League qualification thanks to winning the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League.

CI Kamsar are powerhouses in Guinea and had some experience in continental battles, playing in the CAF Confederation Cup last season.

All eyes will be on the two teams at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Match preview

Hearts of Oak had a historic run in the Ghana Premier League, defying all odds to clinch the trophy over arch rivals Asante Kotoko and others.

The introduction of Samuel Boadu midway through the season turned out to be a game changer as the Phobians recorded important victories.

The two teams were set to play the first leg in Guinea but a coup d’etat forced CAF to make the game a one-legged tie.

If the game ends in a draw, we will move straight to penalties to decide the winner.

Team news

Hearts of Oak will be without Gladson Awako who has left the camp due to illness.

Predicted Hearts XI: Attah, Robert Sowah, Fatawu Mohammed, Raddy Ovouka, William Dankyi, Afutu, Salifu, Nettey, Razak, Aidoo, Daniel Afriyie

There are no problems with CI Kamsar.

Prediction

As Hearts of Oak will be playing at home, it is expected that they take all three points.

Hearts 1-0 CI Kamsar
