Enyimba FC forward, Awazie Ekene, has expressed confidence ahead of their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 30 encounter against Bayelsa United on Sunday. The striker emphasized that securing all three points is the team's primary objective as they look to revive their winning momentum.
The skillful attacker, who recently netted twice in Enyimba’s 5-0 demolition of El-Shama FC in the President Federation Cup Round of 64, believes the upcoming fixture presents an ideal opportunity for the team to get back on track. Following a series of inconsistent results in the league, Enyimba is determined to reassert its dominance.
"Yes, it is a perfect game for us to get back to winning ways," Awazie stated, highlighting the importance of Sunday's fixture. He acknowledged that Bayelsa United will be a tough opponent but remains optimistic about Enyimba’s chances.
"However, we have to earn the right in order to secure the maximum points with a good performance, because it won’t be an easy game against Bayelsa United," he added. The visitors, who are battling to avoid relegation, will be equally motivated to secure a positive result in Aba.
Awazie further stressed the significance of playing in front of the home supporters, expressing confidence that Enyimba will deliver a strong performance. "But I’m very confident that we are going to get the needed result on Sunday in front of our supporters," he concluded.
The forward has been a key figure for Enyimba this season, contributing four goals and two assists. His ability to make an impact in crucial games was evident in the reverse fixture, where he found the net in a 1-1 draw against Bayelsa United in Yenagoa.
Enyimba, currently pushing for a strong finish in the NPFL, understands the importance of capitalizing on home advantage. With just nine games left in the season, every point counts in their quest to remain in the title race.
As the People's Elephant prepare for this crucial tie, all eyes will be on Awazie and his teammates to see if they can secure the much-needed victory and boost their chances in the league standings.
