David Ndihabwe, Maroons captain wants his teammates to show quality and go for all points.
“It was a disappointing performance and result in our last game but we have worked hard to put things right,” said Ndihabwe.
“We haven’t been clinical enough in front of goal but the good thing is that we create chances and playing at home gives us more confidence and belief,” he added.
Maxwell Owachigiu expects a tough outing but believes his side will do enough to continue with their form.
“They beat us in the first round and will be motivated but we want to continue with our good form,” he said.
Maroons have Darius Ojok back in the team after missing the last two games while with the Hippos.
Hot Stat: Maroons have lost just once at home this season in nine league games [D5, W3] while three of Kitara’s losses this season have come away from home.
