Nasarawa United defender, Victor Collins has expressed that he is hopeful that the team will get back to winning ways, when they play hosts to Kwara United, in a Matchday 11 encounter, on Sunday, at the Lafia City Stadium.
The strong and hard-tackling left-footed defender, who recently got a call-up to the Nigeria senior national team, the Super Eagles, will be expected to lead the Nasarawa United defence line once again, as they hope to bounce back from their Matchday 10 defeat at Rangers International last Sunday.
The Enugu-born defender, who has been impressive for the Solid Miners and have featured in eight straight games this season, said the team want to get back to winning ways when they face Kwara United this Sunday.
“Yes, I’m hopeful that we are going to bounce back to winning ways against Kwara United, ” Collins said.
“However, it is not going to be an easy game at all, because Kwara United is a good side even if they lost their last game against Akwa United but it is not going to be the same game as you know. But we have been training hard in preparation for this game.
“We’re going to give our best to have a chance of getting the maximum points at the end of the game, so I’m hopeful and confident that the team performance will show on Sunday.”
The defender, who is the only player from the NPFL in the Super Eagles squad invited for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda this month, is available for selection against Kwara United.
