The war of words between fans of Dolphins FC and Sharks FC which started some few weeks back will come to an end this afternoon when both teams meet in Port Harcourt in one of the Glo Premier League matches.
Both teams go head to head today at the Sharks FC Stadium in a game that will have a role to play in whether both sides remain in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) next season.
Both sides need to win the game, but a draw will favour Dolphins more since it is the away side and currently above Sharks on the log.
Telema George said he has been a fan of Sharks all his life and he told DolphinsFC Media that only one result is possible on Sunday and it will be a win for his side.
He said: “Sharks are in a bad position now and do not need to drop points at home. We need the three points badly to escape relegation and I am sure we will win on Sunday against Dolphins,”
Looking at the recent exchanges between both sides, he admitted that Sharks fear Dolphins but said he will pray to God so his side can win.
“We look on God and we are praying. We always have the fear of Dolphins because when you compare both of them, Dolphins have a better head to head record compared to Sharks,”
Agwu Augustus, a member of the Dolphins Supporters Club shared his optimism that Sharks will lose on Sunday.
He said: “We are going to beat Sharks. It’s a local derby and it is unpredictable but with the caliber of players we have I am optimistic we will defeat Sharks,”
On his part, he admitted that it will be a tough game, but Dolphins will win and escape relegation at the end of the season.
“It will be a tight match, but we will win. With the caliber of players we have I don’t see why we won’t win,”
When both sides played at the Liberation Stadium in the first round of the league, it ended 1-1, Yusuf Jaiyeola opening scores for Sharks and Godbless Asamoah getting the equalizer with three minutes left to play.
