Hearts of Oak coach Neboja Kapor says his technical team have studied Samartex’s strengths and weaknesses as they prepare for Sunday’s Ghana Premier League meeting at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena.The Phobians face a difficult away test against a Samartex side that has been strong on home soil, winning four of their five league matches at the venue this season.Kapor acknowledged the challenge but insists his players are prepared to deal with the hosts’ threat and take advantage of any weaknesses they identify.The Serbian coach said Hearts approach every fixture with a detailed assessment of their opponents, ensuring the players understand what to expect and how to respond.We are already aware of Samartex’s strengths. When preparing for every game, we look at the weaknesses of our opponents as well as the positive things they do. We are approaching this match very seriously, Kapor said.He admitted that Samartex are particularly difficult to beat at home, but believes Hearts also have the quality to make life uncomfortable for their opponents.He added that the encounter presents an opportunity for his side to take advantage of their current position in the league and secure an important result.Kapor’s men head into the fixture on the back of a convincing 3-0 victory over Heart of Lions, a result that kept them in second place.However, their away form remains a concern, having collected seven points from a possible 15 on the road.Samartex, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Bechem United.The two sides have won two matches each in their last six meetings, with the other two ending in draws. Their most recent encounter in May ended in a 1-0 victory for Samartex.
