It was an home win all weekend in the NPFL as match day 32 had 9 home wins and just 1 draw at the end of it. 16 goals were scored as all but 2 are from the home teams but this is what it means for the teams.
At the top of the table, Rivers United remain 7 points clear despite their 1-0 loss to Wikki Tourists. The loss sees Plateau United cut down the 10 points deficit after they were able to defeat Kano Pillars by the same scoreline.
The battle for the last continental slot in the league took another turn as Rangers fell to Abia Warriors 2-0 in the Oriental derby while Enyimba also dropped points in Kaduna against Niger Tornadoes in their 2-1 loss and Akwa United lost to Heartland by a lone goal.
This means Remo Stars who defeated Gombe United 1-0, Kwara United’s 1-0 win over Katsina United are getting closer to the spot although Rangers remain third after the match day.
For clubs like Gombe United, Wikki Tourists and Nasarawa United, the result changed nothing for them as they remain in and around the middle of the log.
At the bottom end, Abia Warriors boosted their survival chances, Dakkada have a life line, Heartland’s nine lives is intact as they all take relegation battle to another level.
Shooting Stars, Katsina United losses and the draw between MFM and Lobi Stars makes the remaining days of the season more interesting.
