The top-flight sides come into the Sunday’s clash with contrasting fortunes from their immediate past matches. The Owerri side were beaten 0-2 at neighbours, FC IfeanyiUbah in the oriental derby in Nnewi while the Bauchi landlords beat Lobi Stars 1-0 at their adopted home in Jos. NaijaBet.com
Though the former Lobi Stars utility player is suspended for Sunday’s clash due to accumulated cards, he said he has given his teammates the marching order to beat the visitors hands down on his behalf.
“We have broken the bad luck that saw us producing poor results on our home ground and the jinx is broken forever.
“No team will get a point from us anymore on our home ground, the ground is now a fortress against visiting teams. NaijaBet.com
“Wikki Tourists should now make up their minds to look for away points elsewhere not in Owerri.
“We know they will come out strongly to chance eking a point but we will not afford them the luxury.
“Three points is not negotiable against visiting side, Wikki Tourists as we need the points to further shore up our position on the league log.
“I feel sad over my unavailability for the clash, I know there is reason for everything that happens. NaijaBet.com
“I wanted to take part in the game to oversee the defeat of Wikki Tourists.
“However, I have charged my teammates to rise to the occasion to defeat Wikki Tourists for my sake.
“I believe strongly that we will claim the whole three points at stake in the encounter,” said Ubido to supersport.com.
