Inter Allies host Hearts of Oak as part of fixtures for match week 3 of the Ghana Premier League at the Accra Sports Stadium (18:00GMT)
The hosts remain the only team yet to score a goal so far. The Eleven is to One drew goalless at home to Dreams FC during the opening weekend, and suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Karela United.
The Eleven is to One is certainly missing star man Victorien Adebayor. The Nigerien international has left the club for Danish 1st Division club HB Køge.
Adebayor was the main source of goals for Inter Allies in previous campaigns and his absence clearly has affected the start of the season for Coach Henrikh Lehm’s side.
Hearts of Oak impressed in their first game of the campaign although they ended the game feeling disappointed. The Phobians were twice pegged back after taking initial leads against AshantiGold SC.
Coach Edward Odoom after the game spoke about the need for his side to be more efficient upfront and be solid at the back as well.
Both teams go into the encounter seeking a first win of the campaign.
