Victor Collins understands the magnitude of the challenge ahead. As Nasarawa United prepare to host league leaders Remo Stars, the experienced defender recognises their dominance—but insists his team won’t bow without a fight.
With the Sky Blue Stars enjoying an incredible campaign, sitting comfortably at the top of the NPFL table, Collins acknowledges the respect they command, Footballrover reports.
However, he remains adamant that the Solid Miners will push for a crucial result in their battle for survival.
Remo Stars deserve respect, but Nasarawa United won’t surrender
Speaking after Tuesday’s training session at the Lafia City Stadium, the Super Eagles Team B centre-back admitted the encounter would be difficult but emphasised his team’s determination.
“Of course, we know that it will be a tough game against Remo Stars, but I’m confident that we will secure a positive result,” Victor stated as quoted by sports journalist Emmanuel Chinedu.
He acknowledged the visitors’ quality but stressed that playing at home gives Nasarawa United an opportunity to make a statement.
“It is not going to be easy because they’re the league leaders and deserve their respect. But it is an important game for us as well, so we’ll do everything possible to gain the maximum points on Wednesday.”
Can Victor Collins & teammates defy the odds against the table-toppers?
Collins’ concerns are valid. Coach Daniel Ogunmodede and his boys have been dominant this season, securing 16 wins, three draws, and suffering only six defeats in 25 league matches.
Their impressive form has kept them 10 points clear of second-placed Shooting Stars, while Nasarawa United sit 19th, desperate for points to escape the relegation zone.
A daunting task awaits Victor Collins and his teammates, but with their backs against the wall, Nasarawa United must rise to the occasion.
Can they stun the leaders, or will Remo Stars reinforce their supremacy? The showdown will be decided later today.
