GPL Preview: AshantiGold vrs Inter Allies

AshantiGold AshantiGold

Ashanti Gold SC will be happy to be at home this weekend following their first away win of the season against Medeama SC two weeks ago at Tarkwa.

The Elephants have the best of chance to move out from the relegation zone when they take on Inter Allies FC at the Len Clay Stadium on Sunday.

The Gold and Black outfit are currently enjoying their best moments of the season.

They are unbeaten in their last four league matches thus after their 4-1 humiliation in match day thirteen.

A lot will depend on veteran goalie George Owu if the four times champions will avoid defeat this weekend.

He was the hero in their first away victory of the season by saving a penalty coupled with other sumptuous stops.

CK Akonnor has every player available for selection.

Inter Allies FC will be hoping to at least maintain their recent decent form by stretching the unbeaten run to four games.

The belief of finishing within top four at the end of the season will definitely increase if they manage to pick even a point on Sunday.

The visitors are in a comfortable position and could break into the top four if they win at Obuasi this weekend.

The Eleven Is To One side have a boosted squad for their journey to the Ashanti region for Sunday's fixture.

Defensive duo Issahaku Zakari and Wahab Ackwei have returned from their respective injuries.
