Sunshine Stars midfielder, Oghene Elijah, has admitted his side's Nigeria Professional Football League clash against MFM this weekend will be tough.
The Olukoya Boys' unbeaten record at home was broken, when they lost 1-0 to Shooting Stars of Ibadan, in NPFL week 23 fixture, which pushed them to 10th position on the log.
Meanwhile the Owena Waves would have had enough rest following the postponement of their clash against opponents Enyimba FC, who were in action in the Caf Champions League.
However, Sunshine Stars kept their fitness levels up, as they defeated Akure City in a practice match on Tuesday, with Alaba Adeniyi and Mbonu Micheal scoring the goals.
Elijah, who played a part in the friendly, informed Goal that the Akure-based outfit are well prepared to host MFM FC at the weekend.
"We had a friendly match against Akure City FC on Tuesday and we defeated them 2-1. It's a test match basically to knock the team into shape ahead of our weekend match with MFM FC," Elijah told Goal.
" We have kept a detailed tab on the league and we know that MFM FC haven't won a match in their last three."
"They will come all-out against us because they lost their last match at home and they'll do everything possible to see if they can get a point here but considering our current form, I'm confident that Sunshine Stars will secure the maximum points."
The game will take place at the Akure Township Stadium by 4pm on Sunday. Goal
