Enyimba finished in disappointing seventh position under Finidi\u2019s tutelage last season missing out on a continental ticket.<\/p>\n

Results have not improved this term with the People\u2019s Elephant now at danger of missing out on a Super Six place.<\/p>\n

Disappointing home draws against Bendel Insurance and Nasarawa United have seen the eight-time champions lose further ground on Group A leaders, Bendel Insurance.<\/p>\n

The Aba giants currently occupy fourth position on the Group A table with 18 points from 11 matches, seven points adrift of leaders Bendel Insurance.<\/p>\n

A daunting task awaits Finidi and his boys when they take on Akwa United at the Godswill Akpabio International, Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Defeat in this game will add to the pressure on the former Real Betis player.<\/p>\n
