Hearts will win if you rely on juju – Stephen Oduro advises Kotoko players

Asante Kotoko great, Stephen Oduro has advised the Porcupines to steadfast in prayers to beat their rivals rather than relying on juju ahead of Sunday’s Super Clash with Hearts of Oak.

The title holders of the Premier League will host Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium in a week seven outstanding game of the local league.

Superstitious Ghana players are believed to be handing fortunes to witchdoctors in a bid to shine or secure a win in a Super Clash.

However, the 38-year-old who currently lives in the United States has urged his former club to dedicate themselves to the most high since that is the only way they can humble Hearts of Oak spiritually.

“Hearts of Oak is a team that if you rely on black magic to play against them, you will lose so I will plead with the players [of Asante Kotoko] that for this match they should all go down on their knees and pray, or all of them should meet in camp and have a devotion and fellowship [with God] every morning or before they go to bed. They should rely on God and ask for grace from God,” he told Ghanasportspage.com

“When it comes to that time [of playing against Hearts of Oak], that is when you will see some officials of the club and some Circles [the supporters wing the the club] leaders coming to give this or that to the players, and that is where you see players arriving on the pitch looking very heavy. You can see that you are not of yourself”, he added

Asante Kotoko currently leads the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League with 36 points after 16 games, 12 points better than the Phobians who occupy the 8th position.
