NPFL: Akwa United Coach Target Maximum Points Against Niger Tornadoes

Akwa United head coach, Muhammed Babaganaru, believes a win on the road will turn around the fortune of the club.

The Promise Keepers are in Minna, Niger State for a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 11 encounter against Niger Tornadoes.

Babaganaru declared that his team was mentally and physically ready to fight for maximum points in the encounter.

“The home win on Sunday against Kwara United has been a big motivation for us and we want to maintain that tempo going into this weekend’s game against Niger Tornadoes,” Babaganaru told the club’s media.

“We have only two wins since the start of the season and at this point, we need to focus on winning matches and to be more consistent with the way we play whether home or away.

“The reality on the ground is that many teams have picked points away from home and we are equally capable of picking points on the road also. Coming to Minna, we have had robust preparations throughout this week and my players showed lots of commitment and determination.

“I’m hoping to see them replicate that type of energy on Sunday because I strongly believe that victory on the road will certainly turn things around for us,” he said.
