PLATEAU United forward, Kabir Umar has expressed
confidence that the Jos outfit will record yet another victory over Mountain of
Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM FC) when both sides clash in Sundays Nigeria
Professional Football League (NPFL) matchday 14 encounter billed for Agege
Stadium in Lagos.
The Peace Boys
recorded a 1-0 victory over Olukoya Boys
during their last visit to the ‘Soccer
Temple’ last season and Umar told SportingLife that they are once
again in Lagos to secure the maximum points at stake.
“Honestly we will give them good fight. We are here to
fight for the three points at stake. We have tasked each other that we won’t
leave Lagos empty handed. Last season, we played draw at our home in the first
round and we defeated them right there in Lagos in the second stanza. We are
going for the three points at stake.
“We know that MFM is performing well this season and we
too are doing better. So both teams will fight for the maximum points, but we have
all it takes to get the job done,” he told SportingLife.
Plateau will be without Coach Kennedy Boboye who has been
handed a touchline suspension by the League Management Company and Umar
assures that the team will not be distracted by the issue.
“We are only focused on the match, even if Coach Boboye
is not on the bench, we have others in the technical team that can dish out
instructions to the players and we will execute them”, the former JUTH FC goal
poacher assured .
Plateau United currently sit on top of the league table
with 25 points, four points above 3rd placed MFM.
