HEAD coach of Abia Warriors, Abdullahi Usman Biffo believes his side can become the first and only one to beat Rivers United in Port Harcourt this season.
The Stanley Eguma side will be aiming for its 14th consecutive win at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, knowing they still have a mathematical chance of emerging Nigeria Premier League (NPL) champions, if Rangers International of Enugu slacks in its final two games against relegated Ikorodu United and El-Kanemi Warriors.
“It will be a very massive game for us.
“We do not want to wait until the last day to assure ourselves of safety (in the NPFL).
“We want to give our all to secure maximum points against Rivers United so that the last match for us (versus Shooting Stars in Umuahia on October 2) will be a formality,” Biffo told the media.
Biffo will be relying on trusted talent like Ogbonnaya Okemiri, Shedrack Asiegbu, Ndifreke Effiong, Chima Uluocha, Bolaji Sakin and Michael Olaha who impressed against Enyimba four days ago, to produce the goods against the ‘Pride of Rivers’ today.
