GPL Preview: ‘Wounded’ Hearts of Oak out to avenge stubborn Allies

2 min read

Hearts of Oak will be looking to rekindle their charge towards the Ghana premier league title when they welcome Inter Allies to the Accra sports stadium on Sunday evening.

The Phobians’ could take another major stride towards winning the ultimate should they see off the Capelli Boys after their painful loss to AshantiGold last week.

The continental club masters are 13 places and 14 points better off than their regional rivals in the premier league table, but have found the Capelli Boys an unlikely bogey side at the Accra sports stadium in recent years.

Samuel Boadu’s outfit are fully aware of the task at hand due to the results between the two sides in the first round, where Inter Allies won courtesy a neat strike from Richmond Lamptey at the same venue.

Victory on Sunday would lift Hearts of Oak to third place on the league log, one point behind second placed Olympics and two points adrift of first placed Asante Kotoko should Karela fail to win against Dreams FC tomorrow.

Inter Allies are having one of their worst campaigns in the championship this term lying on 18th position with 16 points to their name. Nonetheless, The Capelli Boys will be blazing with confidence following their 2-0 victory over in-form Karela United FC last weekend.

It may not be classic but we expect the home side to come away with all the three points following their lost to AshantiGold last week.

WE SAY: Hearts of Oak 2-1 Inter Allies.
