They lost only once this season but I believe if our players can treat the match as a final we can turn the tables on them. "Our players are ready for the task ahead and they must play as a unit and work for each other. They need to maintain their momentum and winning mentality, and if we can steal all three points it will be a bonus to our fans."

However, he understood that the task is made more difficult with the absence of imports Muamer Salibasic and Everton Souza Santos who did not travel with the team."Unfortunately, Muamer is not with us due to a hamstring injury and Everton is also staying back to sit out his one-match suspension.
