My people, e don red, as Sunderland dey waka enter Brighton ground, Amex Stadium, for big match wey dem dey call AFCON edition! Omo, e no easy no be small, as dem don lose plenty players wey go represent their countries for Africa Cup of Nations. E be like say dem wan feel am for ground.
Sunderland, wey dey shine for Premier League, don gather 26 points and them dey hope to keep di momentum after dem don carry three points last week against Newcastle wey dem beat 1-0. Na im make dem jump reach 8th position! But wetin dey worry dem be say, AFCON don carry six of their players go Morocco. No be small wahala!
Brighton sef no dey sleep o! As dem dey chill for midtable, dem gatz win dis match to fit jump up. E no go easy, especially since dem don slack small, fit only gather one point from der last three games. Na so e be say dem go need to find way to put Sunderland for their place.
With Diego Gomez and Lewis Dunk both suspended, plus Carlos Baleba and others for AFCON, Brighton dey face slight disadvantage. But their coach, Fabian Hurzeler, don prepare plenty strategy to balance the gameplay. Na wetin dey sweet for football; e fit change am just like that!
For Sunderland side, Regis Le Bris mus drop some players wey dey play key roles. Chemsdine Talbi, Noah Sadiki, and Reinildo Don waka go AFCON, while Luke O’Nien dey serve suspension. Wetin dem go do now? Na to rely on Robin Roefs wey dey shine as goalkeeper. Na him dey make sure say shots no fit enter as e dey hold di defence tight.
Diarra don manage to settle small injury and e fit play last match before e join Senegal for AFCON. E sure say his last contribution go matter! Dem forecast say dis match fit end 2-0 in favor of Brighton, but be like say di Black Cats get some surprises wey dey fit throw us for corner!
