Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Plateau United head coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, has said the team will go all out for victory against Libya\u2019s Al-Akhdar on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Peace Boys defeated the Libyans 4-1 in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup playoff round tie last week.<\/p>\n

Al-Akhdar will need to score three goals without conceding in order to stop Plateau United from sailing through to the lucrative group stage of the competition.<\/p>\n

Ilechukwu stated that his team is fully focused on the task ahead and won\u2019t allow anything to distract them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fully prepared for this all important match, knowing fully well that coming out with a decent result will catapult the team to the group stage of the competition,\u201d Ilechukwu told the club\u2019s media.<\/p>\n

\u201d Naturally a four-one victory is a good scoreline by any standard, but in a competition of this magnitude, where the away goal rule counts, we need maximum concentration to enable us come out unscathed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The match will kick-off at 3pm Nigerian time.<\/p>\n
