It's just been three games into the second round of the Glo Premier League and the pressure in building up tick and fast in the capital for Hearts of Oak.
The race to secure top spot and avoid relegation continues to dominate the campaign for the sixteen sides.
Mighty Jets and a resurgent AshantiGold kick-off the match-day-19 fixtures on Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium with the bulk of the matches following up 24 hours later.
Hearts of Oak are weighing up the option of sacking coach Nebojsa Vucicevic after a slow start in the second round following a month's break.
The club was doing just fine until they stumbled in their last two games where they drew 0-0 with relegation threatened side, Bechem United and followed up with defeat to AshantiGold.
And the trend of results has put the pressure on coach Vucicevic whose side comes up against Tema Youth at the Accra Sports Stadium.
With seven points separating them from the top, an encounter against the Port city side, who have enjoyed a good run of results against the Phobians stares at Vucicevic and his rainbow army.
In seven meetings between both sides, Tema Youth have won thrice, lost twice and drawn the other two games.
Leaders, Asante Kotoko welcome Wa All Stars to the Baba Yara Stadium and are determined to win this time round after losing the reverse fixture 1-0.
The statistics read in Kotoko's favour against the Blues but they could be surprised by Wa side.
