Didi Dramani says Hearts of Oak must remain disciplined and clinical if they are to secure a positive result against FC Samartex 1996 in their upcoming Ghana Premier League clash.
The Phobians travel to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday as both clubs continue their pursuit of a strong finish to the 2025/26 campaign.
Ahead of the encounter, Dramani described Samartex as an organised and physically strong side capable of causing problems if Hearts fail to maintain concentration throughout the match.
The Hearts coach emphasised the importance of reacting quickly to second balls, defending spaces effectively and making the right decisions during key moments of the game.
“They are very compact, they are very aggressive, and they are a good side, so we need to be strong in our second actions. We need to be decisive, and we need to be very quick in closing the gaps,” he told Hearts TV.
Dramani also highlighted the need for his side to be efficient in front of goal, insisting that taking chances could prove decisive in such a competitive fixture.
“We acknowledge their strength, but we are going to try our best to come back with a very important result,” he added.
The match between Samartex and Hearts of Oak is scheduled for Sunday, May 17, with kick-off set for 3:00 pm as both teams continue battling for improved positions on the league table.
