Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clubs, Nembe City FC of Brass and Bayelsa United FC of Yenegoa, have assured their fans of victories in their league matches to be decided today.

Nembe will confront El-Kanemi Warriors FC of Maiduguri in Omoku, Rivers, while Bayelsa United is away to FC Taraba in Jalingo.
Victor Baribote, proprietor of Nembe, told NAN by telephone that the players had resolved to redeem their names in the match against El-Kanemi.

He said that the team had put behind the 0-3 defeat they suffered in  Wednesday’s mid-week encounter with Kaduna United in Kaduna.
“The boys have resolved to take the bull by the horn; at least, we have got our first victory and that will always put them in a good frame of mind.

“It is better we started bad so that we can put in our best rather than start well and end bad,” Baribote said.
He said the club in spite of being privately managed, the management was trying to match the government- owned clubs in terms of salary and financial motivation for the players and officials.

Richard Bubara, Coach of Bayelsa United also told NAN by telephone that the club was prepared for its encounter with FC Taraba in Jalingo.
“I have talked to my players to forget the past and forge ahead.

“I told them that losing to their former boss is one of those things that happens in football but that should not discourage them from getting a good result in Taraba.
“We are ready to deliver and I know we cannot leave Taraba without a point; we are going there to win or pick a point,”
