Pyramid City side Kano Pillars will this afternoon at their temporary venue Muhammadu Dikko stadium Katsina test tin city side Plateau United for size
The game is in continuation of Nigeria’s top flight which is steadily reaching it’s apex
Historically, encounters involving Kano teams since during Raccah Rovers and Works Golden Stars and Jos teams right from the time of Mighty Jets,Octopus, Standard, Giwa United were usually explosive in view of good football display by players of the opposing teams
Such matches on some occasions ended in a stalemate as the club’s find it pretty hard to score and if one would get the upper hand it will be by narrow a margin
Righteously,as pillars will slug it out with northern neighbours Plateau United nobody will forecast the outcome as in soccer anything is practical
particularly as to some extend one may say the officiating is improving although what happened during last week’s encounter between host Nasarawa United and Pillars left much to be asked
To pillars Gaffer, Usman Abdullahi,he has to sit up to face the daunting challenge before him with utmost seriousness so as to restore the battered image of the club who are unarguably one the sides that have the largest followers countrywide but as of now facing intricacies as a result of poor runs
To this end Skippo Ahmed Musa,Rabiu Ali Pele Shehu Abdullahi and co,have to wake up in ensuring they earn the three points at stake so as to improve their standing on the log and bring happiness and joy to the teeming supporters
Righteously, anything contradictory will definitely add salt to injury as the team is now playing far from home thus missed their ardent fans that have been with them in either thick and thin for years
On the other hand the visitors will not fold their arms to allow the home side beat them easily as they must put a fight going by the fact that the venue is a neutral ground
