Wikki Tourists are yet to beat Tornadoes at their home ground, the Bako Kontagora Stadium in five years and Umanah is confident they can achieve same feat of May 2007.
"Personally I want to go to Minna and make sure we leave there without conceding a goal (against Niger Tornadoes," the right-back told SuperSport.com on Friday.
"But we have to achieve that as a team and I believe we have a defence that can do so. Also, I believe this team can win in Minna."
Wikki Tourists start off this round of matches in seventh place while their opponents, Tornadoes occupy 13th position with six points from five games.
