Medeama goalkeeper, Yakubu Saeed spent some few minutes to share his thoughts on the game.

“Preparation is great and we are ready for them. We are well motivated and if you look at the demeanour of the players it speaks volumes about our readiness for the game.

“If you look at the premier league table, they are behind us with just two points and they will come in hard but we are also ready to face them because we are playing at home.”
