Accra Hearts of Oak and Ebusua Dwarfs go into Sunday's game with similar hopes but at opposite ends of the Ghana Premier League table.

The Phobians who lie in fourth place and six points behind leaders Wa All Stars on the log will look to give their title hopes a stupendous push when they host Cape Coast based Ebusua Dwarfs at the Accra Sports Stadium.

For the Rainbow supporters it is a fight for the ultimate trophy even though a fight to stay in the top four is more realistic from an objective point of view.

Ebusua Dwarfs is six points away from the 14th placed team and is in need of the maximum three points to stay clear off the relegation zone.

(Major talking point) Accra Hearts of Oak will have assistant coach Yaw Preko on the touchline after head coach Sergio Traguil was demoted to Hearts junior ranks.

On the bright side for Hearts is the possible return of goal poacher Cosmos Dauda who was not involved in the defeat to Bechem United last two weeks.

An even brighter angle for Hearts is the fact that Medeama SC have been on the losing side in their last two meetings.

They will look forward to feed off their superiority over their counterparts if the past is anything to go by.

Dwarfs left back Dennis Nkrumah Korsah will not be involved in the clash after being ruled out for the rest of the season suffering a broken arm against Techiman City.

A boost for the Crabs is a possible return of club top scorer Bright Luqman who has recently returned from a knee injury.

Hearts of Oak have lost two of their last thirteen games in the league drawing in a total of eight matches.

(W3 D8 L2)

Ebusua Dwarfs have also lost two of their last eight premier league games drawing in three and winning three.

(W3 D3 L2)

Head to Head (Since 1999)

Total matches played = 15

Hearts of Oak wins = 4

Drawn matches = 4

Ebusua Dwarfs wins = 7
