Hearts of Oak will clash with newly Premier League entrants Accra Lions as the Phobians continue preparations for the CAF Champions League preliminary rounds.

The Phobians will play the Division Zone three winners on Sunday, September 12 at the Accra Sports Stadium following the cancellation of their champs leg game in Guinea against Club de Industrial Kamsar.

It will be their fourth friendly as the team look to be in good shape before the one-legged tie against Guinea side on September 19.

The Ghana Premier League winners in their previous three friendlies have beaten Adabraka Welders FC, Tema Youth and lost to Togolese Champions Asako De Kara.

Originally, the Hearts-Kamsar encounter should have been a two-legged game but due to Political instability in Guinea, CAF announced within this week that the first leg which was supposed to be played on Sunday in Conakry has been cancelled.

A section of the statement released by CAF indicated that the second leg which will come-off at the Accra Sports Stadium will determine the winner of the tie.

Sunday's Friendly clash will mark the Phobians first return to the Accra Sports Stadium after beating Ashanti Gold on that venue to clinch the double.
