Federation Cup: ‘Tornadoes won’t make Cup mistake’

Niger Tornadoes head coach Abdul Bidemi Biffo has said his side will avoid mistakes against Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side Lobi Stars.
The Nigeria National League (NNL) side will battle the Pride of Benue in today’s Federation Cup round of 32 clash at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.

Biffo said his side will muster the needed strength to out-muscle the former champions.
“We are confronted with the heavyweight of former champions and a FA Cup traditional side, so we cannot afford to make any mistakes today.

“We will double our effort to match them in every department of the game and will do everything we can to come of the match unscathed.
“Our target is to inch into the round of 16 move up the ladder knowing that four matches will be standing between us and a continental ticket.

“We do not have any injury worries right now, so will be fielding our best legs. We are positive they will deliver the goods,” said the former Giwa FC head coach to supersport.com.
The Minna-based side ousted Nigeria Nationwide League (NNWL) side Zabgai FC in the round of 64 while Lobi Stars edged Junior Spotlight to pave the way for the round of 32 clash.
