HEAD coach of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Football Club, Fidelis Ilechukwu says he expects a difficult Southwest derby encounter against Sunshine Stars FC this weekend.
The Olukoya Boys are guests to the Akure-based team in Sunday’s Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Matchday 6 tie billed for the Akure Towship Stadium.
Ilechukwu told mountaintopfc.com on Friday before his team departure from Lagos that the contest will be very tough for his lads but he believes his team can muscle out at least a point from the maximum three at stake.
"Everything is possible in football. Nobody believed that we are going to pick a point against Shooting Stars and anything can still happen against Sunshine Stars.
"I know that the game is going to be a tough game considering our last game against Kano Pillars. I believe Sunshine Stars will double their efforts to make sure they beat MFM but we will do our best to make sure that we get at least a point in Akure," said the Nnewi-born tactician.
Ilechukwu and his wards currently sit in the second spot on the NPFL table with 10 points from a possible 15 in the five-week old Nigerian top-flight.
