Pillars will stop ‘strong’ 3SC, predicts Ubong Ekpai

Kano Pillars forward Ubong Ekpai has told AfricanFootball.com that the champions will maintain their home invincibility when they welcome Shooting Stars on Sunday in a Nigeria league Week 23 game.

Pillars are unbeaten after three matches under new coach Mohammed Babaganaru and are now seven points adrift of league leaders Enyimba.

Ekpai said Pillars are aware of the opponents
’ current form, but still hope to win on Sunday.
“It is going to be a tough game against Shooting Stars no doubt, they have been in good form, the fact that they beat Heartland 3-1 away is a massive boost to their morale but we are on the high here too,” said the former Akwa United star.
