The Port Harcourt outfit will entertain the Olukoya Boys in a rescheduled NPFL battle on Wednesday and Sakin is keen to see his team record a win at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium. 

"We’re not interested in a draw. We have beaten them before, Wednesday's encounter won't be an exception at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium. We won't settle for less,'' Sakin told Goal.

''On an individual basis, one against one, we are better than MFM, but they are good too. We will approach the match with the aim of picking three points.

"The match will be a unique encounter, as games against Lagos sides always brings out the required flavour."
