Crown FC striker, Afolabi Timothy has revealed that the Ajilete Boys have the right plan to humble Osun United when both teams meet at the Soun stadium in a week 3 Nigeria National League (NNL) tie on Sunday.
Osun United looked to have started the season on a high as they are yet to lose after two matches. The Omoluabi Giants have picked four points from two matches and sit 7th on the NNL Southern Conference table while the host, Crown has three points from two matches.
The goal poacher who joined the Ogbomoso outfit from Karamone FC at the start of the season took his preseason form to the new NNL season having gotten an assist in two matches. His presence in the box has been a major worry for opponents, his physic, pace and creative moves from the wings to the box is no doubt an advantage for Crown.
The southwest derby will pull a capacity crowd to the Soun stadium and Afolabi believes that the ever passionate Ogbomoso fans will play a key part in the match with their continuous cheers just he predicts a 2-0 win for the home team.
“We had a very good preparation before the start of the season, having that mental strength is needed at this level because of the number of matches each teams will play this season. We shall host Osun United on Sunday here in Ogbomoso and I am confident that we shall secure a win,” Afolabi told Footyalert
“Osun United is not going to be a hard nut for us to crack because we have studied their style and approach to games. We have a detailed information about all our opponents and it’s a continuous thing. If we compare player to player, we have a bunch of highly talented players and we play as a strong unit. Even if you consider the head to head, we still have an edge over them. They have not picked a point here in Ogbomoso and that will continue on Sunday. As much as I admit that it will be a tough contest, I still predict that we shall record a 2-0 win,”
After playing their season opener against Ikorodu United which they won 1-0 behind closed door, the fans will have an opportunity to see the Ajilete Boys entertain them but Afolabi has charged the fans to continue to support the team.
“We played our first match behind closed door against Ikorodu United and we won but on Sunday the fans will be opportune to see us play, their support will motivate us. They should come out and be that important 12th player of Crown,” Afolabi stated.
