Inter Allies FC look to break the home voodoo against Asante Kotoko SC, when the two teams meet for a premiership clash at the El Wak stadium this Wednesday.

They have never beaten the Porcupine Warriors at home before since joining the top flight.

The home consistency is on the rise of the Eleven Is To One lads as their home unbeaten record is stretched to seven after beating Bechem United 1-0 weeks ago.

They have also won all of their last five home fixtures in the league.

Last Sunday, Prince Owusu and his charges picked a point at the difficult Golden City park in a 1-1 draw against Berekum Chelsea.

Isaac Twum, Wahab Ackwei and Prince Baffoe are all making a return to the team for the big fixture in midweek.

On the other hand, Asante Kotoko SC are on a high flying moment as they aim at closing in on the league leaders at the top of the league table.

They are just five points behind WAFA SC and Aduana Stars who are levelled on 40 points in the first and second positions respectively.

Steven George Polack made it ten games in all competitions without a loss since taking charge as head coach of the Red family after beating Medeama SC 3-1 last weekend.

A feat that will determine the future of the English trainer.

Obed Owusu is available for selection after serving a match suspension last Sunday.

Awal Mohammed also returns from international duty.

He was part of the Black Stars B that travelled to Togo on the weekend.
