Rivers Angels Head Coach, Tosan Blankson, has reaffirmed his team’s readiness to face Ibom Angels in the match week 4 encounter on Wednesday at the Adokiye Amiesimaka stadium.
Despite acknowledging that every match is tough, Blankson expects his team to emerge victorious due to their rigorous preparation.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s South South or South West or South East. A match is a match, and all I know is that a team is coming from Uyo to play against us, and we are prepared for them,” he said.
“Every match is always tough, but with the way the girls are playing, we would definitely win on Wednesday.”
Blankson expressed confidence in his strikers’ abilities to convert their chances despite missing opportunities in their last match against Pacesetter Queens in Ibadan.
“It would have been a different thing if they’re not creating chances, but it’s just to convert it, we have been working in the trainings since we came back and will continue till the matchday.”
The coach appealed to fans and the people of Rivers State to come out and support the Jewels of Rivers, assuring them of a win.
“They should come and support the way they have always done. All I can assure them is that we would beat Ibom Angels, but I can’t predict the scoreline.”
The Jewels of Rivers have a strong head-to-head record against Ibom Angels, having won both matches last season with a 2-1 victory in Port Harcourt and a 1-0 win in Uyo
The match kicks off at 4 pm on Wednesday at the Adokiye Amiesimaka stadium.
