Hearts of Oak head coach Nebojsa Kapor has expressed confidence that his side will bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Debibi United when they take on Heart of Lions in their upcoming Ghana Premier League fixture.

The Phobians suffered a setback last weekend, losing their second league game of the season after falling to Debibi United away from home.

However, Kapor insists his players are determined to put the disappointment behind them and return to winning ways when the two sides meet in their Week 10 encounter.

Speaking in a pre-match interview ahead of Sunday’s fixture, the Hearts of Oak coach admitted that his team had not anticipated the defeat, having travelled with the intention of securing all three points.

“We didn’t expect the result in our last match. We went there to win, but unfortunately, we didn’t achieve our goal,” Kapor told Hearts of Oak TV.

The coach, however, remains optimistic about his team’s chances, revealing that the players have been working hard in training to address their shortcomings and improve their performance.

“We are all ready to bring good energy to our next game. We have been training well and showing that we are ready to create situations we can control. I’m really sure we will get a good result in the next game. I’m sure we will convert everything we are doing in training to the next match,” he added.

Hearts of Oak will now turn their attention to Heart of Lions as they seek to return to winning ways and maintain their push for a strong league campaign.

The Week 10 clash is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, 2026, at the University of Ghana Stadium, with kick-off set for 3:00 pm.
