Akwa United Football Club Technical Adviser Abdu Maikaba has
expressed optimism that his team will finish the first stanza of the 2016/2017
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season in a comfortable position on
the table.
Akwa United, which occupied 5th position on the log, will on
Wednesday engage league leaders, Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM)
of Lagos in matchday 19 of the NPFL season at the Godswill Akpabio
International Stadium in Uyo.
Maikaba said his players are well motivated ahead of the
game and maintained that his target will be to claim the maximum three points
in the game.
“We set a target at the beginning of the season. Although we
started badly, but by the grace of God we are now 5th on the table. We are
impressed with the way we are playing at the moment but we know that the job is
not done yet," Maikaba said.
He added: "Our match against MFM is a must win and the
three points will take us to a very good position as we will be going into the
mid-season break. We have to keep winning our matches both home and away so as
to be able to achieve our target."
A win for the Promise Keepers will see them moved up to 4th
position on the log.
The Uyo-based team who are unbeaten at home this season
defeated Kano Pillars away from home in their last away game.
Akwa United and MFM have met twice in the NPFL with one win
apiece.
