Hearts of Oak will begin their premier league campaign Wednesday with a tricky away match against Tema Youth.

The Phobians will be looking for a fine start at the Tema Stadium after the match, initially arranged for Sunday was rescheduled due to the home team's contribution of four players who participated for Ghana's national U-20 team in an international qualifier over the weekend.

As Hearts seek to improve their third-place finish last season they are aware that the short trip to Tema has always not be an easy task.

Much is expected from coach C.K. Akunnor despite missing out of some of his transfer targets.

With three successive seasons without a silverware, the pressure will be on for a change in fortune as new recruits Richard Addai, Seth Owusu and Emmanuel Ansong are expected to help improve their side tremendously.
