Great Olympics will host Inter Allies in match day seven of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday, as both sides target maximum points after a difficult start to the season.
The “Eleven Is To One” have the chance to bounce back to winning after recording back-to-back defeats against Wa All Stars and Aduana Stars and in the quest to climb
up on the league table after a difficult start to the season.
Great Olympics on the other hand, are yet to record their first win of the season as they lie bottom of table with just 2 points from six games.
Inter Allies sit a place above the relegation zone (14th) with 5 points with their next opponents lying pretty cool at the bottom of the table with 2 points after six games.
