By BBN Sports: NPFL WEEK 36 PREVIEW
ABIA WARRIORS VS MFM FC
Having defeated Gombe united 1 – 0 at the soccer temple last Sunday, title chasers MFM FC will be hoping to pull a major upset on the road when they travel to the Umuahia township stadium to battle Abia Warriors.
With star striker Sunday Adetunji, who scored the warrior’s solitary goal in the reverse fixture set to miss the rest ot the season, the church boys might start to feel lucky ahead of the encounter.
However, the Olukoya Boys will be wary of the desperate warriors who are just 1 point away from the relegation zone on 47 points despite not losing in their last 4 matches both home and away.
Coach Fidelis Ilechukwu will be hoping to get his boys fired up for the final phase of the NPFL title push starting with their visit to Umuahia.
PLATEAU UNITED VS RIVER UNITED
Having recorded a barren draw against Rivers United in the reverse fixture on match day 16, League leaders, Plateau United will be playing in front of thier home fans full of confidence ahead of the title run in.
Coach Kenedy Boboye has to rally the troops who lost thier first game in 6 matches last Sunday in Ilorin.
Despite placing 11th on the log and 3 games left to wrap up the season, last year’s runners up Rivers United have still not guaranteed their NPFL status. With 2 points separating the Niger Delta team from 19th placed Gombe united, Coach Stanley Egume will be throwing everything at Plateau united at the Rwang Pam stadium on sunday.
The Jos based side are just 6 points away from winning their 1st NPFL title and Coach Boboye will be doing all he can to transform their dreams into reality.
