After losing previous league game in Wa, Inter Allies will be looking to bounce back to wining ways and maintain the unbeaten record at the Tema Stadium (this season) when they host giants Hearts of Oak on Sunday.
Coach Herbert Addo who was at the bench of the Eleven Is to One last season will return on the wrong ticket – with Hearts of Oak for his first match against us since he left.
Hearts have enjoyed some good run lately with wins over B.A United and Olympique Ngor which have boosted their morales. They have hit top form after a slow start with Gilbert Fiamenyo their main weapon, scoring 8 goals in 11 games.
