NPFL Preview: Wikki Coach Maikaba Hopes To Beat Heartland In Owerri

Wikki Tourists coach Abdu Maikaba says he expects a tough test against Heartland in Sunday’s matchday 22 clash in the Nigeria Professional Football League. The Bauchi-based outfit head into the game in fantastic form having won their last four fixtures and being on top of the table. They face a Heartland side who recovered from their shocking 2-1 home defeat against Oriental rivals, Rangers, last weekend to pick a valuable point on the road against Warri Wolves in midweek. Maikaba reckons the Naze Millionaires will be out to secure maximum points in the game, but is confident his side can pick another vital win. “We know what we will be up against in Owerri and we are fully ready for the task ahead,” Maikaba told Completesportsnigeria.com. “They (Heartland) lost their last home game to Rangers and will be desperate to pick a win against us. “But my boys are in good shape at the moment and we expect to get a good result against them on Sunday. “We are proud of what we have achieved in the last few games and we want to continue on that positive run.”
