CAF Confederation Cup hopeful, Enyimba will slug it out with ambitious Nigeria Professional Football League side, MFM today by 12 noon at the Agege Stadium, Lagos in a friendly match to assess their readiness for the
playoffs tie with TS Galaxy of South Africa.
The People’s Elephant will face the South African second division side first at the Enyimba Stadium, Aba on October 27 before the deciding leg in South Africa on November 3.
Enyimba has been training at the Temperance Hotel, Ota since last week and head coach, Usman Abd’Allah told SportingLife that they are leaving no stone unturned in their resolve to wrap the encounter at home at the end of the first leg encounter.
“We shall be facing MFM at Agege Stadium on Wednesday by 12pm and it is in continuation of our build
up to the game with TS Galaxy,” Abd’Allah told SportingLife.
“They might be a second division team in South Africa but we are not still underrating them because they earned their spot in the playoffs round by beating established teams from Seychelles and Madagascar.
“The training is going on fine in Ota and the 31 players we came with for the closed camping are training very hard. We want to get a good result in Aba before the second leg tie. We do not want to give excuses this term after
getting a second chance.
