“The fact that both sides are playing the match on away ground will certainly work to our advantage.
“Heartland are a side I know inside out having spent a reasonable amount of years at the Owerri-based side, so I will do everything in my power to ensure we grab the three points at stake.
“The side may have changed few hands as well as coaches but the playing pattern will not have changed completely so my knowledge of the side will prove decisive in the game.
“We need the three points badly to cushion the negative effect of the points we conceded at the weekend to Wikki Tourists.
“The shocking home defeat was a huge setback to our aspiration to contest the top spot on the league log.
“The draw will be unacceptable to us in the encounter though Heartland are expected to come out hard but we are determined to claim the whole points,” said the former Enugu Rangers strongman to supersport.com.
