On Wednesday, the domestic Premier League will continue with all sixteen teams in action.

AshantiGold after their giant-killing feat against Kotoko travel to the Tema Stadium to face Inter Allies, who only won their second match out of 11 games on Sunday.

Following their humiliation at home to Hasaacas, Heart of Lions will have to pick up the pieces and be ready for their game against Bechem United at the Bechem Park.
