The match day 30 of the Nigeria Premier Football League will start today with 8 games across venues.
The biggest match today will be the oriental derby between league leader Rangers International against Abia Warriors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
The Flying Antelope suffered a defeat narrowly to Katsina United last weekend which ended the club’s 11-game unbeaten run and will want to quickly return to the winning ways.
The away side will have to keep a close eye on Godwin Obaje who has scored 8 goals this season.
Also today, Bendel Insurance will hope to restore the confidence their fans has in them when they confront Kano Pillars in Benin.
Remember The Benin Arsenal suffered defeat in the last home match against Niger Tornadoes but playing against Pillars who lost at home last Monday may be pretty difficult.
The Sai Masu Gida boys will bank on skipper Rabiu Ali and Umar who has scored 8 goals this season.
Rivers United will return to the league with a tough game against Plateau United.
The Pride of Rivers have no choice than to win this game considering their present position on the table.
Plateau United is gradually rebuilding their momentum again after suffering a home defeat to Akwa United but they will need the old form of Albert Hilary to get a positive result in Port-Harcourt.
In Aba, champion Enyimba International will aim to halt Heartland FC again at home.
Leading scorer Chijioke Mbaoma will be the man to watch again but the People’s Elephant have to be wary of the Naze Millionaire who’s fortune seems to have changed in the last few games.
After securing unbelievable 3 points in Kano, Shooting Stars will have another difficult opponent to contend with at home when they face title-chasing Lobi Stars.
The Oluyole Warriors have picked up good form recently and the good form of Christian Pyagbara has contributed immensely to the progress of the club.
Sporting Lagos will bank on Junior Lokosa when they host Sunshine Stars in the Southwest derby at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.
The Lagos based side suffered a 3-1 defeat to the struggling Heartland last week and will see this game as an opportunity to bounce back against a Sunshine Stars that was held to draw last week.
The Akure gunners will need to improve their scoring form to get something in Lagos on Sunday.
