Akwa United head coach Kennedy Boboye has said that his team will not be complacent when they face Sunshine Stars in the match day 19 of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clash on Saturday but will approach the game with a positive mindset.

The Promise Keepers, who are unbeaten in seven matches, are third on the log while Owena Waves, who are on an 11-game winless streak, are 17th place.

The fixture will be Sunshine Stars’ second home match to be played at the Agege Stadium following their banishment from Akure Township Stadium after they were found guilty of breaching LMC’s Framework.

Speaking ahead of the game, Boboye said his team won’t get carried away with their recent feat and will be aiming for their fourth straight win on Saturday.

“I have informed my players that we should not be carried away by what we have achieved so far because we are not yet at where we will love to be. So we will continue to push forward and take it one game at a time because we still have lots of matches to play before the end of the season,” Boboye said. 

He added: “We will be playing at Agege Stadium for the second time in two weeks and I know my players will go into the match with the same spirit and energy they put in during our win against MFM.

“We know the match will be tough and we are ready for any challenge because at this stage of the season, every point is important and we are going to fight for maximum points on Saturday knowing very well that victory can take us to the top of the log.

“I’m impressed with the level of determination and courage my players have exhibited both in trainings and in matches. It simply means that they are committed and willing to give their best in every match.”
