Speaking in his pre-match interview, Bashir Hayford stressed that Heart of Lions must not underrate Na God FC just because they play in the lower division.
He insists that his players must give their all on the matchday to stand any chance of advancing to the next round.
“Well, it will be a tricky encounter because if you think they are a first division team and you underrate them, you will have yourself to blame. And so we are not underrating them. We are preparing like we have been preparing for all our matches. Although things are not going as well as we expect, we are preparing very well for this encounter,” Bashir Hayford said in an interview with Heart of Lions TV.
Wednesday's encounter is scheduled to kick off at 3 pm at the Kpando Sports Stadium.
