Niger Tornadoes shall go into the Match day 12 encounter against former league champions on the back of recent fine form and hoping to consolidate on a draw and a win over Lobi Stars and Katsina United in the previous week.
The boys are in confident mood going into the weekend encounter especially the senior players, Abiodun Adebayo and Usule Martins have demonstrated the zeal and readiness to grind out result against their former team, the dou left the Aba elephants to pitch tent with the Ikon Allah Boys before the start of the current campaign.
Again, the Ikon Allah Boys would rely on the resurgence Ahmadu Liman and Shamsudeen Hashim, the dou are in form of their lives and were quite instrumental in recent results.
After several weeks on the sideline, one of the club’s biggest acquisition during the close season, Destiny Ashadi has rejoined the team having been satisfied fit upon recovery from an ankle injury.
Goals from Eric Frimpong and Aliyu Mohammed Goyi were all the Ikon Allah Boys needed to grind out a spectacular result, beating Enyimba 2-1 in an NPFL encounter in 2007 at their back yard in Aba 15 years ago. Can this current set replicate similar form? Only 90 minutes can tell.
