NPFL26 Matchweek 30: Hassan Abdallah Confident as Warri Wolves Prepare for Crucial Away Clash Against Bayelsa United
Technical Adviser of Warri Wolves FC, Hassan Abdallah, has expressed strong optimism ahead of his side’s crucial NPFL26 Matchweek 30 encounter against Bayelsa United in Yenagoa.
The Seasiders will travel to the Samson Siasia Stadium on Sunday for what promises to be a fiercely contested derby, with both teams eager to secure valuable points in the ongoing league campaign.
Speaking during preparations for the encounter, Coach Abdallah assured his players and supporters that the team is well prepared for the challenge ahead. According to him, the level of preparation and the intensity of recent training sessions have positioned the squad for a positive result.
The gaffer noted that the players have undergone rigorous training in the days leading up to the fixture and are mentally ready for the task.
“We have worked very hard in training and the players understand what is expected of them. With the level of preparation we have put in, we are hopeful of getting a positive outcome on Sunday,” Abdallah said.
The former national youth coach also recalled the first leg meeting between the two sides earlier in the season. In that encounter, played on October 26, 2025 at the Southern Delta University Stadium in Ozoro, Warri Wolves scored an impressive 2-0 victory over Bayelsa United.
On that day, forward Igbunu Evwierhurhoma was the hero for the Seasiders, scoring a brace in the 16th minute and deep into stoppage time to seal all three points for Warri Wolves.
Abdallah stated that his team is determined to replicate a similar performance when both sides meet again in Yenagoa. Drawing confidence from the team’s recent improvement and their impressive display against Enyimba FC, the coach maintained that the squad is well positioned to compete strongly.
The Warri Wolves boss further revealed that a few adjustments have been made to the squad that defeated Bayelsa United in the first leg. However, he stressed that the team remains psychologically prepared and highly motivated to face their neighbours on Sunday.
While acknowledging that the clash will be a tough and fiercely contested battle, Abdallah remains optimistic that the Seasiders can emerge victorious at the Samson Siasia Stadium.
With confidence high within the camp, Warri Wolves will be hoping to secure another important result on the road as they continue their push in the NPFL26 campaign.
