"First of all, we should know that it's football and the most disciplined and tactical team will win so we are not afraid," Bameyi said with an air of confidence.
On his expectations after 90 minutes of football played, Bameyi added: "Like I said, it's football and everybody would have to take their chances. The best team will win.
"Football nowadays, the team that plays best wins so I believe we can come out with three points tomorrow."
