Osho: Akwa United will fight to beat Enyimba in Aba

Akwa United head coach Fatai Osho has revealed that his side will go all out for a win against Enyimba in Aba.

Osho will lead his charges out against his old club at the Enyimba International Stadium on Sunday (today).

The tactician stated that his team will approach the match with a positive mindset aimed at picking all three points.

“Sunday will present us with another opportunity to go for our first win of the season. We have worked hard and we believe in our ability as a team that we can take on any club in the league,” Osho told the club’s official website.

"Enyimba is a big team, they are the defending champions, but we will not be looking at the name Enyimba, instead we will be concentrating on what we can get out of the game and we are determined to fight for the maximum point.

“Our last two games were not good enough in terms of results but our general approach to the game and our ball play was encouraging. Goal scoring seems to be the issue and we have addressed that in our different training sessions.

"Our team is such that any player can score so I’m impressed with the level of competition by my players who all want to be part of the matchday squad. The confidence level is very high and the mood in camp is good. So we are fully ready for the match on Sunday”

In the last six meetings between the two sides in the league, Akwa United have recorded two victories while Enyimba managed one win while three of those encounters ended in draws.

Last season, the Promise Keepers picked a point against Enyimba in Aba and won the return fixture 1-0 in Uyo.
