Spirits are high and momentum is with Inter Allies as they prepare to start this season’s campaign with a big match against Hearts of Oak at the El Wak Stadium, looking to rely on their impressive opening day records to clinch victory over the Phobians.

Having grabbed back-to-back wins in their last two opening day matches against Medeama SC (2-0) and Aduana Stars (2-0), the ‘Eleven Is To One’ have the chance to gather pace in El Walk with the visit of Hearts of Oak on Monday afternoon.

Both sides have not yet met on Match day one and this will mark Inter Allies’ first game on the new home venue, El Wak Stadium – the club’s first home venue after three seasons in Tema.

To notch up a second home success over the Phobians, they’ll need to overcome a stubborn Hearts of Oak side who hold an impressive record of  beating the ‘Eleven Is To One’ at their own backyard, winning 2 and losing one in their last three visits.
