Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this National Sports Stadium clash with TelOne, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Premier Soccer League table.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
