Ghana Premier League Preview: Hearts of Oak vs Inter Allis- Phobians can push Allies down with win
Hearts of Oak

Hearts of Oak will honour their last league game of the season at home when they host regional rivals Inter Allies FC on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium. 

The Phobians head into the game with little or no motivation since a win, draw or lose could still see them finish the season at the 3rd position.

They have 47 points whilst the 4th placed Asante Kotoko SC have 43 points going into this weekend's fixtures.

For motivation ahead of their 2017 FA Cup final against fiercest rivals Asante Kotoko SC next Sunday in Tamale, winning the derby this weekend will be essential.

Patrick Razak has returned to full training after recovering from an illness. He didn't travel with the team to Tarkwa last weekend.

Winful Cobbinah is also available for the regional derby.

Inter Allies FC will be looking for the salvation points where they have to look for their first away victory of the season to avoid relegation in the end.

The Eleven Is To One lads are making the short trip to the Accra sports stadium on the back of two straight wins which have moved them out of the drop zone.

They are currently sitting 10th on the league table, just two points away from the relegation place.

Beating the Phobians on Sunday could see Inter Allies FC finish the campaign in the top six.

A defeat will also mean they will wait for results from other match venues to be assured of safety.

There are no injuries to worry about ahead of their visit to the Accra sports stadium on Sunday.
