"From the graph of the performance of both sides contesting for the title, it is very obvious that the Rangers are on the high while our opponent is on the downward run. 

"We want to make our fans happy with a very good performance and win the trophy for the seventh time. 

"We have some injury worries to some key players, but we have capable replacements and I am confident and optimistic that we shall get the job done against a resolute and mobile side like Bendel Insurance," said Maikaba.

"I believe we shall all smile after the match," he said.
