Having come out unscathed in the midweek fixture against Niger Tornadoes in Kaduna, Abia Warriors are poised to go for the kill against El-Kanemi Warriors in the penultimate matchweek of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
The tie against El-Kanemi Warriors will be the last home game of the ongoing season for Umu Chineke, and they are determined to make the most of it, especially now they are on the threshold of picking a continental slot.
After a hard fought draw against Ikon Allah Boys in the last game, Umu Chineke are battle ready for the fight. This was made known to the club’s media by the Warriors combative midfielder, Ojonugwa Adejoh, during a media chat.
“The Warriors are 100% ready for the match tomorrow. We have put in a lot of work in training after our midweek fixture. The spirit is high in the Warriors camp, and we are ready to go,” said Adejoh.
The Kogi State born midfielder also disclosed that the Warriors are not bothered about the previous results between the two clubs, even as he said that the Warriors are not in any kind of pressure but are only focused on securing the three points at stake.
“No two games are the same, we all know how important this match is for us as a club so, we are going all out to get the maximum three points.
“No pressure whatsoever, we are only focused on getting the desired three points tomorrow,” he said.
A glance on the NPFL table indicates that Abia Warriors are occupying the third position with 57 points after 36 games, while El-Kanemi Warriors are in 15th position, 11 points behind Umu Chineke.
Abia Warriors will play hosts to El-Kanemi Warriors this Sunday from 3pm at the Umuahia Township Stadium.
