The Makurdi based side got a massive result as they picked a point against league title hopefuls Enugu Rangers last week. They drew 1-1 after rallying to equalise in the second half after one of their players was shown a red cards moments after the equaliser. It remains to be seen if goalkeeper Okemutie Odah will be fit to play after he was injured in that game.
They won their last home game 1-0 against Plateau United at the Aper Aku Stadium and will be confident of getting another win against Warri Wolves who came from a goal down to beat Akwa United last week. A positive result could see them leapfrog Sunshine Stars on the league table. The Delta based side have struggled to hit the lofty heights attained last season which they finished second. They conceded first against Akwa last week but fought back to claim an eventual 3-1 win. Its unlikely they'll get anything from this though as the host will be too strong for them to handle.
