“It’s human work, not machines, anything can happen. Now we have another tough match [and] it’s Karela.
“All the teams they have their objectives. Karela also they have their objectives and it is one of the tough matches.
“One thing that I know and I tell the players is, every team that Hearts are playing, the opponent are coming determined so we need to be focused, more determined to carry the matches.” Ouattara told Hearts TV.

Karela United on the other hand languish in 16th with 28 points, one below Vision FC and Accra Lions and they need all three points Hearts to keep their escape intact.
