Lobi Stars FC will this afternoon, Tuesday, November 10 at 3 pm inside Sharks Stadium Port Harcourt go in for the kill against their less illustrious opponents Cynosure in their third group match at the ongoing Gov Nyesom Wike Cup.
On paper, Cynosure are not expected to be a threat to Lobi Stars, but their impressive showing against highly rated Akwa United in Match Day two despite the 1-3 loss should make bookmakers have a rethink.
As such Lobi Stars shouldn’t expect a stroll in the park but a strong resistance from Cynosure.
Besides, Cynosure’s opening day loss will energize them to prove bookmakers wrong which should make Lobi Stars to be wary of their ambitious opponents.
Consequently, the highly motivated Ortom Boys will be expected to re-double their efforts and ensure they secure victory in order to brighten their chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.
For now, the Group is looking very tight and diecy as Akwa United lead the group with four points, separated from Lobi Stars by one goal difference and closely followed by Rivers United who are on three points.
Therefore, Lobi Stars need nothing short of the three points to ensure qualification from the ‘Group of death’.
Speaking to Lobi Stars Media, Coach Kabiru Dogo in his calm nature continued to show unflinching confidence in his wards as he gave the assurance that nothing short of a win should be expected from his team in today’s match.
At the risk of sounding overconfident, the unassuming tactician reiterated that his team which is 80% ready for the 2021 NPFL season is physically and mentally set for the clash with the ‘underdogs’.
