Legon Cities head coach Bashir Hayford says the pressure is on Hearts Of Oak to deliver against his side in their matchday 30 fixture which comes off at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday.
The Phobians will be hoping to record a win against the Royals to maintain the top spot before their crucial encounter against rivals Asante Kotoko on Sunday.
Hearts have been impressive under Coach Samuel Boadu. They are unbeaten in their last six games, winning five and drawing one.
They occupy the first position with 53 points, same as Asante Kotoko who are second on the log ahead of the mid-week games before the Super Clash on Sunday.
Coach Bashir Hayford has told the press that his side is ready to win on the day as Hearts are under pressure to win at all cost because of their game against Kotoko.
“The pressure is on Hearts of Oak but not us. They are worried because they have two quick matches to play and I can feel the pain of Samuel Boadu.”
“This is my 13th club as a head coach and I have never been afraid of any club. Hearts is a big club but I am not scared of them. The players on the pitch have to do the talking.”
Hayford also called on their supporters to disregard reports that his players have been bribed.
“The difficulty of this game lies in the speculations coming out. This a game we are fully focused on winning but people are having their own perception about it. I think this dumps the spirit of the boys considering the way they are preparing for it. I want to state on record that we have not sold the match and never are we going to do so.”
