Shock

Ilorin, March 16, 2020 (NAN) Kwara United striker Ajibola Otegbeye says Plateau United will face the toughest battle of the season so far on Wednesday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kwara United will be facing current Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) leaders, Plateau United, on match day 25.

The former Sunshine Stars who joined Kwara United during the mid-season transfer window told journalists before the team departed Ilorin for Jos.

Plateau United are no doubt the toughest team this season in the NPFL as Abdul Makaiba has been able to make superb transformation at the Jos based club.

But Otegbeye, who made his first start this term for Abdullahi Biffo-led side against Wikki Tourists, is not perturbed about their status, and therefore warned Plateau to underrate his team at their own risk.

“We are not scared of Plateau United and we are going to shock them and many football fans who have already written us off for this game.

“I am particularly targeting scoring my first goal for Kwara United against Plateau and I’m sure we will get good result against them in Jos,” Otegbeye said.

In history, Kwara United have never won Plateau United in Jos and even their best result in the cold City was a 1-1 draw against Mighty Jets in the Nigeria National League.

But after labouring hard to beat Wikki Tourists at the Ilorin Township stadium on Sunday, a win for Kwara United against Plateau will definitely take them out of the relegation zone.

Already, Biffo and his wards have gotten seven points away from home with wins over Nasarawa United and Akwa United, while picking a point against Dakkada in front of their faithfuls as the fight to maintain their NPFL status continues. (NAN)
