There is little to play for this time around with both teams already through to the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

They are tied on 10 points with Rivers United having a better goal difference.<\/p>\n

Onoja stated that the team is desperate to finish top of the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in high spirits and not under pressure, we aim to make sure we top the group, \u201d Onoja said ahead of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played them in Nigeria, and we beat them but this is their ground and we just have to make sure we play ourselves out and make sure we get the three points.\u201d<\/p>\n
