Federation Cup: Enyimba FC, Rivers United, Wikki Tourist Target Semi Final Berth

Having
won the FA Cup four times, the Peoples’ Elephant who have been experiencing a
contrasting form recently must avoid conceding early against a Rivers United
team that have been defensively solid at the back.

The
Aba Warriors edged out Julius Atete 1-0 thanks to Ezekiel Bassey’s late goal in
the previous round while Rivers United defeated Shooting Stars 3-1 via penalty
shootouts.

Meanwhile,
NPFL leaders, Wikki Tourist face a stiff challenge against ‘giant
killer’Crown FC at the Confluence Stadium in Lokoja on Wednesday.

The
Ogbomosho outfit stunned top-flight side, Enugu Rangers 2-1 in Cup round of 16
tie in Kaduna while the Bauchi outfit benched top-flight newcomers, Plateau
United 1-0 in Akure to set the tone for the battle for a semifinals ticket.

A
win for the 2012 quarterfinalists against Wikki Tourists will see the side inch
further to the semis to realising their lofty dream for a shot at the continent
through the Cup platform.
