Prime will try to build upon their good run in-form and Coach Shina Afolabi, has perfected corrections of his wasteful attack after missing lots of sitter against Unicem Rovers last week.

All eyes will be on Delta Force versatile goalkeeper, Godwin Ameh, to absolve fireworks from Prime attacking force with his sharp reflexes.
