StarTimes to telecast Aduana vs Hearts on match-day one of Ghana Premier League

Aduana Stars Football Club and Accra Hearts of Oak will headline the fixture list for Matchday One of the 2020/2021 football season on Saturday, November 14, 2020 at the Nana Agyemang Badu I park at Dormaa.

The two former League Champions will battle each other on the first weekend of fixtures for the new season, a game that would be broadcasted live on StarTimes Adepa channel 247 and Max TV at 3pm.

Aduana Stars – two-time League Champions, have been tipped as one of the favourites for the title, because of their superior home record. The Ogya lads also boast of the some of the finest talents on the domestic front. They come across as a team with loads of experience, with the likes of Yahaya Mohammed, Caleb Amankwaa, Emmanuel Akuoko, Justice Anane, Farouk Adams, Bright Adjei and Samuel Bio.

The Dormaa lads have an outstanding home record against both Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, but that home invisibility nearly hit a jolt last season when the two sides met. Hearts of Oak managed to snatch a point at the Nana Agyemang Badu I park.

The Phobians have made some acquisitions to bolster their squad. Goalkeeper Richard Atta, has been immense for them since his arrival from Elmina Sharks last season. Atta, put in a good display in the 2019/2020 season to earn a place in the Black Stars.

Hearts of Oak would heavily rely on the experience of Emmanuel Nettey, Frederick Ansah Botchway, Mohammed Alhassan, Fataw Mohammed and returnee Nuru Sulley.

One area of concern for the Phobians is in attack, following the departure of Joseph Esso to Dreams FC and Kofi Kordzie to Qatari side Muaither SC. But Abednego Tetteh could be their saviour. The former Bechem United forward, joined the Phobians last season.

Matches between the two sides at Dormaa have always been a crowed puller and a keenly contested one. Statistics have shown that Aduana Stars versus Hearts of Oak games is one of the most viewed ties in the domestic calendar.

The ‘battle between Samuel Fabin and Edward Nii Odoom’ will be the first game to be broadcasted live on Television.

Legon Cities experienced goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda would have no problems handing over the armband to his former Black Stars teammate and Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan.

Legon Cities FC signed former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan in a one-year deal on transfer deadline day on Saturday.

The 34-year-old was initially on his way to join Asante Kotoko and although Gyan publicly admitted his readiness to join the Porcupine Warriors, the negotiations fell through midway which gave Legon Cities the chance to hijack the move.

Ryan comes with a lot of experience following a successful career which took him to Serie A side Udinese, Stade Rennes in France as well becoming the record signing at Premier League side Sunderland in 2010.

He is returning to the Ghana Premier League after 17 years after leaving Liberty Professionals in 2003.

Dauda, who is currently the captain of the Royals has disclosed that he is ready to relinquish his captaincy to Gyan on any day.

“I will not hesitate to relinquish my captaincy to Asamoah Gyan. I don’t need management of Legon Cities to tell me that, he’s my senior and I need to give him that respect unless he doesn’t want it. I will give him the band anytime he’s on the pitch-, ” Fatau Dauda told Oyerepa FM.

The Ghanaian top-flight is scheduled to start November 13, and Legon Cities will play as hosts to Berekum Chelsea at the Accra Sports Stadium.
