In what will look like a clash of the underdogs when a brave Ottasolo FC lock horns with ‘giant Killers’ Cynosure FC in one of the preliminary matches of the so-called group of death as we entered matchday 6 of the ongoing Governor Wike Pre-season Tourney, Ottasolo FC will leave no stone unturned as they search for their first victory in the tournament.
Ottasolo FC will look to get their hope of getting a semifinal ticket back on track when they trade tackles with Cynosure FC who have lost their last two games against Akwa United and Lobi Stars. Gabriel David Boys from Lagos surrendered to a dying minute penalty against Rivers United in their opening match of the competition following an impressive display that caught the eyes of spectators in the stadium.
Cynosure FC on the other will put in everything in this game to get maximum points knowing fully well that nothing short of all three points will dash their hope of getting one of the semifinals tickets.
Rivers United felt the heat when they battled the on-fire Ottasolo FC Boys and The Pride of Rivers could only capitalize on a dying minute goal from the spot-kick to go past the Lagos based team.
Ebenezer Odeyemi who shone like a million stars in the colour of Ottasolo FC in the opening match against The Pride of Rivers will look to build on his last performance that caught the eyes of three NPFL club sides who are currently after his signature. The Ibadan born bulky striker netted a clean rebound goal but was chalked off for offside by the officials.
Going by the name of the team, Ottasolo FC is a smaller team compares to a household name Cynosure FC, but going by the caliber of players in the ranks of the team Cynosure FC is a smaller team compare to Ottasolo. There is no gainsaying; the Proprietor of Ottasolo FC, Gabriel Davies has done a fantastic job in terms of finance to bring together this set of players.
According to Gabriel David who spoke with Ottasolo FC media department ahead of this afternoon’s game “We are positive and determined to go all out and get our first victory in the tournament. We accept the fact that we are underdogs, but I can say we are those kinds of underdogs that bite hard. He declared “The spirit in the camp is high and the boys are good to go. I will do every necessary thing to keep motivating and supporting the boys.
“I think we have proven to the followers of this Prestigious tournament that we are no pushovers in our first outing against Rivers United. Our fans should expect a total good football and victory in today’s game. The proprietor assured
*What to expect*
The spectators should expect brilliant football artistry from both sides judging by what they have exhibited thus far in the tournament.
The encounter is going to be cagey and tactical. And the facts that both teams need to win to get their hopes of advancing to the next stage of the tournament back on track, we should expect two or more goals between the teams.
