The nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League champions, who defeated Bayelsa United at the same venue last season, are expecting a spirited response from their hosts.

"We know it's going to be a difficult game," Olanrewaju acknowledged. "We won the last time in Yenagoa, and this time, you know they would be double prepared. But we know what is at stake as well. So, we are going there with a lot of determination and hope to get the maximum points."
