Matchday two of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League delivers a mouthwatering showdown on afternoon as Dreams FC welcome Accra Hearts of Oak to the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema Newtown.
It’s a fixture steeped in history, rivalry, and plenty of intrigue. Dreams are unbeaten in their last six games against Hearts of Oak.
For Dreams FC, the objective is clear—bounce back. Their season opener in Kpando ended in disappointment, a late strike condemning them to a 1-0 defeat against Heart of Lions. Wilfred Dormon’s side dominated possession but lacked the cutting edge to convert control into points. Back on familiar ground, they’ll be eager to make amends.
Tema has been kind to the Still Believe lads. Since their defeat to Asante Kotoko on December 21, 2024, they’ve remained unbeaten at home, turning the venue into something of a fortress. Adding to their confidence is their impressive record against Hearts of Oak. In their last six encounters, Dreams have avoided defeat, picking up crucial wins and stubborn draws—proof that they know how to unsettle the Phobians.
For Hearts of Oak, urgency is also the theme. Their campaign began with a frustrating goalless draw at home against debutants Hohoe United. Despite dominating the ball, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani’s men struggled to unlock a compact defense, raising questions about their attacking sharpness. Against Dreams, a side known for resilience and discipline, Hearts’ forwards must rise to the challenge.
This contest is about more than just three points. For Dreams, it’s about protecting their turf and proving their dominance over the Phobians is no fluke.
For Hearts, it’s about reasserting their status as title contenders and showing they can break down tough opponents away from home.
With history, pride, and ambition all on the line, Monday night’s clash promises fireworks—and a statement from whichever team takes its chance.
