After that drilling weekend of football where we witnessed interesting results from matchday 7, more interesting fixtures are set for today as we encounter another midweek action in the NPFL.
Anger, rages, confidence, revenge, rivalry are all that to expect from today’s matchday 8 fixtures.
Another draw for Imama?
Abia Warriors have found a steady way to sneak out with a point in recent games. Having lost their first 4 and escaping defeat in the last three, Imama gave himself a lifeline after surviving the three-match ultimatum he was given.
Today against high-flying Sunshine Stars who have managed to find their rhythm under Ogunbote, Abia Warriors need to be wary of the danger the Gunners possess.
My prediction: Draw
Solid Miners vs Elephants
The top of the table battle in Lafia promises to be an exciting one. Well-poised to be the star game of the matchday, Nasarawa United finally tasted defeat and Enyimba still looks shaky.
Nikyu claims Enyimba are not so special but the Elephants can cause damage always.
My prediction: Anybody to win
Lobi visit Ilorin
Dele Aiyenugba is the star man in this game. With 4 consecutive clean sheets, the Harmony Boys are booming with confidence.
Lobi have fired blank in the last 2 games, can they find the scoring boot again.
My prediction: Kwara United to win or draw.
Rangers host Dakkada
After that royal rumble and heavy blow in Akure, Salisu Yusuf will need his players to step up in this game. No win in the last three games, Rangers fans are not that patient.
Meanwhile, Dakkada inspired by their captain, Aniekan Ekpe might just pull a surprise at the Cathedral.
My prediction: Draw
Oriental Derby/Relegation battle.
Heartland and FC Ifeanyi Ubah go head to head, the rivalry, the struggle for survival will see the grass suffer in Owerri on Thursday.
Who will come out tops is a big question.
My prediction: Heartland to win.
Matchday 8 fixtures will be played between today and tomorrow, relax and enjoy all the good football from the NPFL.
Cheers.
