2012
Federation Cup Giant Killers, Prime Football Club will be up against Inneh
Stars Football Club of Benin, on Wednesday at the Onikan Stadium in the Round
of 64 Federation Cup pairing.
Pime FC are
slight favourites going by their recent form in their pre-season
friendly matches which has seen them been unbeaten in their last five grade A
friendly matches against Crown, ABS, Gray's Intl FC and Ajiroba Ooni FC.
The Shina
Afolabi-led side has been solid in defence but too wasteful in front of goal
and Afolabi is adamant things must change beginning with Wednesday's game
against Inneh Stars.
Inneh Stars will be coming out for an upset
and to put a smile on the faces of their fans.
The Omoluabi
Giants will be without Wale Oyewo, Samson Ogungbile, Maxwell Moneke, and
Omowande Dayo, who have played for different teams in the competition before
joining Prime FC.
Coach
Afolabi, will bank on the versatility of midfield maestro Hakeem Olalere, who
is expected to form a formidable patch upfront with Victor Okeji, Lekan
Agunloye, Tosin Olabode and Lekan Bola.
Olusola
Akilapa, is expected to coordinate the defence line, while inspirational
goalkeeper, Ayo Ojo, is expected to man the post.
“We are
prepared for this game and I am confident that we have corrected the mistakes
from our pre-season friendly matches. I am sure we will get a very good game
against Inneh Stars."
“We will
come out strong to ensure that we win and advance to the next stage of the
competition. We won't underrate Inneh Stars and we shall take every match like
a cup final,” Afolabi told PRIME FC MEDIA.
The 'Believe
and Achieve' side will seek a positive result against the non-league side so as
to approach their first league match on Saturday against Unicem Rovers at the
Oshogbo Township Stadium on a brighter note.
