The match day 13 of the Nigeria Premier Football League will commence on Saturday with a clash between Doma United and Kano Pillars.
The Savannah Tigers is presently the most in-form team in the league and goalkeeper Osayi Kingdom has continued to make headlines.
But they must learn from what Gombe United did last week when they got battered by the same Pillars at the same venue.
Pillars will still rely on the young striker Yusuf to deliver the blow to the host at the Pantami Stadium.
League Champions Enyimba International will hope to continue their resurgence when they host Abia Warriors on Sunday in Aba.
The People’s Elephant has been blowing hot and cold since the start of the season but their recent back-to-back wins should give them an edge over Abia Warriors who have been conceding goals.
The coach of Abia Warriors Erasmus Onus must work on its team concentration if they hope to get some in Aba.
Despite being attacked by the kidnappers Sunshine Stars has agreed to play their game against Bendel Insurance.
The Akure Gunners are bubbling with confidence after securing a bragging right with their victory in the South West derby against rival Shooting Stars.
Moses Omodumueke has suddenly become the regular goal scorer for the club with Michael Olalusi struggling to find his feet again.
Bendel Insurance on their part will aim to capitalise on the psychological issues of the away side to get the maximum points.
Junior Osaghe got their lone strike in the last time game and eyes will still be on him for this clash.
In Ibadan, Shooting Stars will target a full point against Katsina United and their coach Gbenga Ogunbote has promised the club fans that they will deliver the good on Sunday.
Despite playing a strong game during the week they suffered a narrow defeat in Akure.
Heartland will take their newly found confidence to the Pantami Stadium to confront Gombe United.
The Naze Millionaire has been unbeaten in the last two matches and securing their first win of the season against Bendel Insurance in the match day 12 is a big morale booster for the team.
Gombe United under coach Babaganaru will see this game as an opportunity to arrest the dwindling performance of the club
It’s going to be another big test for Fatai Osho and his boys as they face Lobi Stars this weekend in Eket.
The Promise Keepers has failed to live up to the expectations since the start of the season and facing Lobi Stars this Tim might not be good for the club.
The Markudi-based side has been consistent in its performance this season and they hope to get another point in Eket this weekend.
Remo Stars will hope to extend their unbeaten run when they face Kwara United in Ikenne on Sunday
All eyes will be on Sikiru Alimi who is already on 9 goals and supplies will also be expected from Sadiq who has been tagged a king of assists in the league.
But they will need to be wary of Kwara United who has a capable player in Alao Mohammed.
In Yenogoa, Robert Mirzo will hope to score more goals when Bayelsa United faces Rangers.
Bayelsa United has not really been convincing at home despite being one of the highest-scoring sides in the league this season.
Rangers will want to capitalize on the indifferent performance of the host to get at least a point and the return of the injured trio especially Nasiru should boost the club.
