Hearts of Oak will put an impressive defensive record on the line on Sunday when they host Bechem United at the University of Ghana Stadium, a venue that has quickly become a stronghold for the Phobians this season.

The Accra-based club are yet to concede a single goal at the stadium in the ongoing campaign. In five matches played there, Hearts have recorded four wins and one draw, scoring six times while keeping five consecutive clean sheets, a run that underlines their growing solidity at the back.

The numbers tell a story of discipline and organisation, with Hearts showing a level of defensive maturity that has been crucial in keeping them competitive as the league enters a decisive phase.

For Bechem United, the task is clear but daunting. Breaking down a Hearts side that has not allowed any opponent to score at the venue will require patience, creativity and composure. Bechem will be hoping to exploit any rare lapses, knowing chances may be limited.

As the two sides meet, attention will be firmly on whether Hearts can maintain their perfect defensive record at home or if Bechem can be the team to finally breach the Phobians’ fortress in Legon.
