Another week in the Ghana Premier League, another tale of inconsistencies from Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko.

They can still do that, but the last few weeks have been incredibly difficult for Klaus Rasmussen's side. The 2-1 loss to Eleven Wonders on Sunday was their fourth in a row. Their problems on the road are well documented, and the consistency of the losses has left them second from bottom on the
