Niger Tornadoes' technical adviser, Majin Mohammed, has called on his players to sustain their momentum as they prepare to face Enyimba FC on Sunday at the Lafia City Stadium. The tactician believes his team is capable of securing maximum points against the former NPFL champions.
Coming off back-to-back victories against Heartland and Lobi Stars, Niger Tornadoes are in high spirits. Majin is keen on ensuring that his players remain focused and committed to extending their winning run. He stressed that maintaining consistency is crucial in their push for a strong finish in the league.
During a training session, Majin commended his squad for their resilience and hard work but warned them against complacency. "We must not let our confidence wane," he stated. "Enyimba is a formidable team, but we are prepared to fight for the win."
One key factor boosting Niger Tornadoes' confidence is their impressive away form this season. The team has already amassed 14 points on the road, demonstrating their ability to perform under pressure. Majin reiterated that his side is not intimidated by any venue, declaring, "We will show Enyimba that every venue is our home."
The last time these two teams met, Niger Tornadoes managed to hold Enyimba to a 1-1 draw in Aba. Chinedu Ufere scored a crucial equalizer to cancel out Joseph Godstime’s opener, ensuring that the Ikon Allah Boys returned home with a valuable point.
Ahead of the crucial clash, Niger Tornadoes have received a boost in squad depth. Sunday Akinmoladun and Ahmed Family are now available for selection after serving their suspension. Their return adds defensive stability and experience to the squad.
On the other hand, Joseph Godstime, who was the scorer in the reverse fixture, has been training separately with the reserve team. He is working towards regaining full fitness and could make a return to first-team action in the coming weeks.
For Enyimba, this fixture presents an opportunity to bounce back from recent inconsistencies. The People's Elephant, who are no longer NPFL title holders, will be looking to assert their dominance and improve their standing on the league table.
With both teams having a lot at stake, Sunday’s encounter promises to be a fiercely contested battle. Niger Tornadoes will be banking on their momentum and tactical discipline, while Enyimba will aim to leverage their experience and attacking firepower.
As kickoff approaches, all eyes will be on the Lafia City Stadium to see whether Majin Mohammed’s side can execute his game plan and claim a crucial victory over the former champions.
