Enyimba FC coach Olanrewaju Daniel Yemi says his team is aware of the danger Niger Tornadoes pose ahead of their NPFL Match Day 7 encounter on Wednesday.
“Niger Tornadoes have struggled at home, but their away record is a different story altogether,” Yemi noted. “We’re aware of their tactics and strengths, and we’ll be ready for them.”
Enyimba, currently third on the log with 13 points from six games, aims to maintain momentum after a hard-fought draw against Lobi Stars last weekend.
Captain Somiari Alalibo echoed his coach’s sentiments: “We’re focused on securing maximum points. No team is a pushover, and we know Tornadoes will give us a good fight, but we’ll come out victorious.”
