South China's Paraguayan striker Fernando Ornelas is confident of scoring goals tonight when his side take on Yee Hope in an Ericsson League encounter at Mongkok Stadium.
Ornelas, 22, scored both goals in South China's opening game of the season, against defending champions Instant-Dict on August 30.
The 1.86-metre centre forward has scored 51 goals during his five-year professional career in Brazil and Chile.
'Hong Kong football is quite different from South America, where the emphasis is more on skills and possession,' said Ornelas.
'From my experience in our last game, it is easier to score here than in Brazil or Chile. I will try my best and I am confident of scoring constantly here.' Star winger Ricky Cheng Siu-chung is also hoping to be in contention for this season's scoring honours. His free kicks have been improving since he started practising with a wooden dummy wall.
'We practise with the dummy wall three times a week and it really helps. I practised with it when I was in Costa Rica,' said Cheng.
Coach Casemiro Mior said his side's performance might be affected as they had not had a match in the past two weeks.
