Wikki Tourists captain, Mustapha Ibrahim, has vowed that they would defeat Rivers United of Port Harcourt when they come calling, adding that the Port Harcourt outfit is only coming to Bauchi for sight seeing. Wikki will host the Garden City side in what obviously is the star match of week 36 at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium (ATBS), Bauchi. Speaking ahead of the cracker, Ibrahim said his side had already made up their minds that the three remaining league matches are a must win. “We will beat Rivers United. Nothing will make them escape a thorough trashing. “We heard Rivers United coach, Stanley Eguma saying that his wards are not coming to Bauchi for sightseeing or tourism but I assure you that’s exactly what they will be doing at the end of the encounter. “The clash is expected to be tough but the level of our preparation is sure going to make it easy for us. “We have already tagged the last three matches on the calendar as Cup final. “Anything short of outright nine points is none negotiable. Meanwhile, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) of Lagos will meet Enyimba in another Match Day 36 tie at the Yakubu Gown Stadium, Port Harcourt. MFM striker, Newman Musa says he foresees a difficult game against the seven-time champions, but he believes the Olukoya Boys will claim the maximum points at stake after 90 minutes today. “We have a huge task against Enyimba this Sunday, it is a game we must win but it is not going to be easy for us. “The win against Lobi Stars is a major boost for us as we go into the today’s match. Enyimba struggled in their last home game against Wikki Tourists. We need to build on our last game as we aim for the maximum points. “A positive result in the match, which I believe is achievable, will keep us in the League irrespective of the outcome of other matches involving other relegation threatened teams,” the former Sunshine Stars striker stated. The Olukoya Boys are 15th on the table with 41 points.
