Niger Tornadoes FC Technical Adviser, Mohammed Majin, has cautioned his youthful side on the need to perform well in their 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 17 clash against the visiting Sunshine Stars FC of Akure.
Having realized his team's struggles at home, particularly at the Bako Kotangora Stadium in Minna, where they have lost several league matches, Majin has urged his players to exercise caution and maintain focus. He also emphasized the importance of consistency in their performances moving forward.
The match against Sunshine Stars of Akure is a crucial opportunity for Niger Tornadoes to return to winning ways after a disappointing stretch of three consecutive away losses. Majin has called on his players to step up their game, especially in their remaining home fixtures, as the first round of the season nears its conclusion, with two home matches and one away game left.
The Owena Whales, as Sunshine Stars are nicknamed, are coming off an impressive performance in Aba, where they secured a draw against Enyimba. This result ended their recent slump, which had seen them go four matches without a win.
Team Form
Victor Okoro and Abba Khalid are set to return to the squad for the Ikon Allah Boys after being rested. It remains uncertain whether Moses Omoduemuke will feature this weekend, as he has just returned to full training, while Kufre Ebong remains sidelined.
