Wikki Tourist head coach Abdul Maikaba says his team will need to improve if they are to overcome Abia Warriors on Saturday and subsequently put up a challenge for the Nigeria Professional Football League title.

The Tourists relinquished top spot  after they drew 1-1 against Niger Tornadoes at the Confluence Stadium last weekend. It was the third successive draw for the Bauchi-based side.

The stalemate left Wikki Tourist in second position with 44 points after 26 games behind Enugu Rangers who hold a two-point lead.

Wikki will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Abia Warriors at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

"We need to win the game against Abia Warriors. That is our target," the coach told Goal.

"This is the time for us to show the stuff in us and stand to be counted as a championship winning side.

"The boys aren't under pressure to perform. I prefer talking about us.  For us to win the trophy it will depend on how we perform in our last 10 games of the season."

"We are still not out of the race and we are going to continue fighting," he added.
