Precious Oham

Ahead of their Oriental Derby against neighbours Heartland FC in a match day 10 of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League, Abia Warriors captain Augustine Njoku is optimistic that the side will secure the maximum points against their opponents, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The former Nigeria national U-20 right back admitted that it would be a tough tie but still hoped for victory for the Pride of Abia.

"It's another game, no game is alike. The last game is past and I urge the fans to expect victory from Abia Warriors Football Club of Umuahia, as usual, come Sunday.

"Yes, it's an Oriental Derby, it's a strong match to talk about. Then talking about Heartland, most of them over there know about us, and we equally know about them. So, I believe, it's going to be a tough game, and I'm believing that Abia Warriors Football Club will emerge victorious to make it three wins out of three."

Abia Warriors will welcome Heartland FC at the Umuahia Township Stadium.
