By Rasaq Oboirien
ODAH Okiemute has set sights on a clean sheet against Rangers International of Enugu in Wednesday's rescheduled Matchday 7 game at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, reports NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com.
Recall the former Sharks FC of Port-Harcourt shot stopper was in his best form of his life after he denied Rivers United the maximum 3points, as Lobi Stars shared the spoils on Matchday 6.
After the Lobi Stars last training session in Enugu on Tuesday evening, "I felt sad not going two matches without conceding a goal. The one Remo Stars scored was one I could have saved. But I was happy that we got a point against them and our second on the road.
"I feel I can stop Rangers like I did against Rivers United.
"It going to be tough against them but our confidence level have grown after the game against Remo Stars. So am looking forward to a good outing against the Flying Antelopes," the CHAN 2016 safe hand said.
Meanwhile Igoche Mark Agbo, the club's ICT Director/Media informed that the team is turbo charged for the tomorrow's tie as there are no injury worries.
"Our training session here in Enugu has Ben perfect. The players didn't show signs of fatigue rather vigour. They want to consolidate on the result they got against Remo Stars.
"The coaches on their part have also assured the good people of Benue that the team can get a result against the Flying Antelopes as they are not invincible.
"If JS Saoura of Algeria can hold them to a draw in the 2nd leg of the CAF Champions League on Sunday, why can't Lobi Stars."
