Rivers United technical manager, Stanley Eguma has expressed confidence that his squad will pick maximum points at home to Katsina United on Sunday.
Eguma said while admitting his team is not under pressure to deliver the desired result in their first home match on Sunday during a press conference ahead of their weekend Nigeria Professional Football League fixture.
The experience gaffer said that Rivers United need to build on their impressive start to the new season having earned a 1-1 draw on match day one against Lobi Stars in Makurdi.
“The League has really started and there is no hiding place for every team. We have to give our best. We have been preparing, having played in the CAF Confederation cup competition, we are now back to the league and I think that we have a team to face the league. Our first game in Makurdi wasn’t a disappointing one and I believe that we are going to build on the result of that match.
“Coming to our home game against Katsina United, I see it as a very strong game because Katsina United lost at their home to Rangers and they will be coming here to fight the fight of their lives and I think we are more prepared to pick the three points at sake so we will give our best. The players are prepared, the technical crew and management are prepared to see that we get victory come on Sunday.”
Eguma was asked if the match against Katsina United is a must win game and he said “the match on Sunday is a must win game. We are going to do our best. This is football, it’s not mathematics. We will do our best technically to ensure that we get victory. Come on Sunday, I think it’s going to be a very good game.”
Rivers United will host Katsina United on Sunday 26th December 2021 at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium by 4pm.
