Kano Pillars FC will this afternoon at their natural ground, Sani Abacha Stadium engage visiting Shooting Stars of Ibadan in continuation of the country’s top flight
The encounter is expected to be a thriller as both teams are surely in need of the points at stake aimed at improving their stand on the log as the event is in its final stage
The pressure to be honest is wholeheartedly on Pillars in view of their inconsistency since the commencement of the second phase of the League in unlike in the reverse segment which they performed excellently well
Based on this, the game is a must win for the pyramid City side as anything rather than a straight win will jeopardize their ambition of earning a continental ticket going by their strings of defeats they suffered just of recent, the five zero mauling by reigning champions Enyimba of Aba which was blamed on stress and fasting period
Coach Abdul Maikaba and his crew, have to sit up and dish out instructions that will ensure the ends justify the means in the game as it is a known fact that the Oluyole Warriors as the visitors are nick named will not fold their arms and allowed the host to whip them easily as they are in Kano not for jamboree considering their good away outings as there is now much improvement in terms of officiating as way teams will now go out and pull suprises unlike in past occasions when home factor plays significant role
As the game is billed to kick off at exactly four o’ clock ,it is expected the spectators will exhibit level of maturity orderliness and above all decorum before and after the match aimed at proving doubters wrong
