"We need to play together as a team and take the match up like we are playing a champions league final and come out victorious.

"I'm expecting a good fight from Kwara United, but I'm certain victory will be ours at the end of the game. We just have to be 100% on top of our game."

Wasiu has seen the back of the net twice so far this season and he is optimistic of a good run of form in Port Harcourt with help of his coaches and colleagues just as he believed he will be a better and mature all round player.

"Last season I played in an unfamiliar terrain and that limited my goal records, because I was playing as a right full back and I still manage to scored a goal during national Aiteo cup"

He concluded by saying "I believe with the help of our technical crew led by coach Stanley Eguma, my colleagues and the entire management staff of Rivers United I will be a better, matured and complete player."
