Match Preview: Inter Allies vs AshantiGold- Capelli boys host Miners in Accra

Inter Allies will host AshantiGold SC on match day 17 of the Ghana Premier League on Friday at the Accra Sports stadium.

Allies ended their seven-game winless streak about a fortnight ago when they beat WAFA SC 1-0 at home.

The ‘Eleven is to One’ lads have appointed former Liberty Professionals and Elmina Sharks coach Felix Aboagye to partner Dani Mujkanovich in their bid for survival as they sit at the root of the table with 11 points from 16 matches.

Their fans will be hoping this new addition to technical team can help them turn their season around.

Meanwhile AshantiGold travel to Accra having managed only one win in their last eight premier League matches.

The Abokaese lads have lost four and drew three in the process.

The Miners have scored six goals and conceded eight in their last three visits to the capital.

The recent slump in form has seen them drop out of the top four to 11^th place with 21 points.

HEAD-TO-HEAD:
Both sides have met eight times in the country’s top-flight football.

AshGold have won thrice, Allies have won twice with three draws.
