Sharks Football Club forward Victor Ezeji is confident that Lobi Stars will not take the maximum points off his team when both sides come up against each other in a Week 2 game of the Nigeria Premier League (NPL).

Ezeji explained that his confidence stems from the fact that Lobi Stars will be playing their home game at the Jolly Nyame Stadium in Jalingo instead of their traditional home ground of the Aper Aku Stadium in Makurdi.

“For me they will not take the three points from us. We have a good chance of picking an away win against them because we will be playing on a neutral ground as far as ii am concerned,” he said.

But the former Enyimba man believes that playing Lobi Stars in Jalingo will not amount to the Blue Angels thinking that the game billed to hold tomorrow will be a stroll in the park.

“No doubt it will be a difficult game because they lost their first game and will want to win this one. We are also angling for a win as well because we dropped points in our first game at home to Jos University Teaching Hospital (Juth) Football Club, which is still a shock anyway. But we have got over that and will go to Jalingo with the aim of winning and if we end up with a point, it is still acceptable,” he said.

Ezeji said he has set aside a personal target for himself but will not reveal it yet.

“Yes I have my target but I think it is personal and I will want to work on it and see it get to a realistic stage before I start talking,” he said.
