Wusum Stars Head coach Mohamed Lamin Kamara who has previously coached East End Lions has emphasized the importance of today's match saying “this match is a must win. We need to beat Lions and reclaim our pride as the “Northern Rock” and to do so we must put behind our back our mid-week 3-2 defeat to Old Edwardians, Kamara advised.

The coach who has since told AWE-Media Sierra Leone that his season objective is to win the 2023/24 Leone Rock Premier League (the national top-tier) team currently in ninth place with 23 points after 18 league games with six wins, five draws, and seven defeats.

Despite they are 10 points behind table toppers Bo Rangers, Coach Lamin has not ruled out his chances to compete for the title with 16 more games to go, he has firmly cautioned his players not to underrate “The Killers.”

According to the host’s spokesman Joseph Sam Turay, there is no injury worry at camp. “Our players are set and very ready to shine over the East End Lions," he noted on Saturday.

On the other hand, East End Lions who also lost their match day-18 clash 2-1 to Bhantal Football Club are in fifth position with 27 points behind Lauwa FC with 29 points. 

However, the Killers equally hope to secure a win over the host to continue their title hunt relying on the return from injury of their inform winger Prince Barrie, who has been a danger man against Wusum Stars in their previous meetings.
