Gradually the league gets older by the day and the actions are coming in thick and fast for all teams in the NPFL, little time to rest and reflect on victories and defeats. The game must progress as we have in other leagues across the world and after an exciting match day 4 which produced 3 away victories, match day 5 is here; will it prove to be even better than the previous week, we wait to find out. TARABA VS ENYIMBA FC Both teams are looking for a quick response after losing their previous game against Bayelsa united and Kano Pillars respectively. For the people’s elephant of Aba, a trip to Kano was always going to be a difficult one, and hoping to snap an 11 year winning home streak at the Sani Abacha stadium didn’t quite turn out well, having started the season not too badly. Taraba FC suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the restoration boys, and a victory against Enyimba will just about clear off the memories of the defeat and get them back on track. Taraba won this fixture last season by a lone goal and will Enyimba suffer a back to back defeat? LAST FIVE MATCHES: FC TARABA – WWWDL ENYIMBA FC – WDDWL STATS: Enyimba FC have lost once in their last five away matches in the league VERDICT: Home win for Tony Ogharanduku’s side HEARTLAND VS ABIA WARRIORS Table toppers Heartland FC will welcome Abia warriors in this midweek fixture, and having secured maximum 9 points from all 3 games played this season, and coming from the back of an away victory with the highest score margin of the weekend in their game against Kwara United, maybe now is not the best time for 19 placed Abia Warriors who lost 2-1 at home to Wikki Tourist to make the trip to Owerri. LAST FIVE MATCHES: HEARTLAND FC – WLWWW ABIA WARRIORS- WLDLL STATS: Heartland FC have not won four consecutive NPFL matches Since June 2009. VERDICT: A home win SHARKS FC VS BAYELSA UNITED After 4 rounds of matches in the new season, Sharks FC of Porthacourt have so far picked up 5 points and as they welcome the Restoration boys, the blue angels are looking forward to putting the poor start to the new season behind them. Meanwhile for Bayelsa united, having egged Taraba FC 1 nill last weekend, hoping to get a point in Porthacourt shouldn’t be a tall dream. LAST FIVE MATCHES: SHARKS FC- LDLWD BAYELSA UNITED- WDLLW STATS: Sharks FC have kept a clean sheet in their last 10 league meetings with Bayelsa United VERDICT: Shared spoils… A draw. GABROS INT’L VS LOBI STARS Tagged the draw specialists in the league, Lobi stars who have gathered as many points in their last 4 matches face a potentially difficult tie as they travel to Nnewi to tackle new comers in the league Gabros Int’l Gabros in their last 3 home fixtures have not lost or picked a draw, and hosting Lobi stars might see that change. The last time both teams met was in 2005, Gabros were forced to a draw in the first leg while Lobi stars won the reverse fixture 2-0. LAST FIVE MATCHES: GABROS INT’L – LWLWL LOBI STARS- WDDDD STATS: Lobi Star’s run of four draws is now one short of their longest consecutive draws in the start of a league season since 2006 VERDICT: A draw. DOLPHINS FC vs ENUGU RANGERS This has always been a standout fixture that pairs two traditional clubs in the league. The rivalry between both sides has seemingly come to stay if the recent development is anything to go by. Rangers are currently without a major trophy in 31 years and their last attempt to end the drought was quashed by Dolphins FC in the 2007 Federation Cup final. The rivalry has since taken a notch. Enugu Rangers were shocked by the visiting Giwa FC in their last matchday as they suffered their first home loss in four years. Meanwhile, Dolphins FC controversially lost 2-1 away Sunshine Stars after the replay showed the ball had touched Prince Aggreh in his arm before he netted the extra time winner. With Dolphins FC and Enugu Rangers currently going through bad patches, occupying 19 and 18th spot respectively, this is bound to be a fight for more than supremacy. LAST FIVE GAMES: DOLPHINS FC: DLDLL ENUGU RANGERS: WLWLL STATS: Dolphins FC are winless in five consecutive NPFL games for the first time since March 2012. VERDICT: A home win GIWA FC VS AKWA UNITED Hardly have we seen a NPFL side (apart from Kano Pillars and Enyimba FC) bounce back in style after seeing an unbeaten run of matches ended. Warri Wolves trounced Giwa FC 3-0 on Matchday 2 but the Elephants have since bounced back in grand style with a home win over Sunshine Stars before stunning Enugu Rangers on Sunday. It is easy to assume Heartland FC may not be the only team currently enjoying a delightful run in the league. Two wins in two games without conceding a goal makes them a team to watch out for in the next couple of Matchdays. A relieving Akwa United, who ended a 703 minute goal drought in the league last Sunday, will have to be close to their best once again in a bid to avoid early relegation troubles. The previous two meetings involving both sides resulted in home victories as Giwa FC edged out through a 10th minute Amos Gyang strike in this tie last season. LAST FIVE MATCHES: GIWA FC – WDLWW AKWA UNITED – LDLLW STATS: Giwa FC have kept 5 clean sheets in their 6 NPFL matches. VERDICT: An “Elephantic” home win WIKKI TOURISTS VS WARRI WOLVES After a stellar performance to stun Abia Warriors with a 1-0 win in Umahia last Sunday, Wikki Tourists have seemingly raised their chances of a great start to the season. The Bauchi based club are one of the best teams going forward (scored 5 goals in 4 matches) but their strength lies more in quick adaptation. Two of their four opponents so far in the league handed them defeats in the NNL Super four pre-season tournament held in February, but Wikki have gone to pick four points off them this season while the win at Abia Warriors further buttresses their swiftness to suitably change the gear for each terrain. Wolves, one of the brilliant teams so far this season, are the next to test the resolve of Abdul Maikaba’s men. The Seasiders will also not be bereft of confidence heading into this match. Paul Aigbogun’s men are 2-1 winners over FC MK Etancheite in the first leg of CAF Confederation Cup tie. LAST FIVE GAMES: WIKKI TOURISTS – LWLDW WARRI WOLVES – DDDLW STATS: Wikki Tourists has a current winning streak of 4 home games against Warri Wolves since 2005. VERDICT: Wolves’ attack to punish the leaky Wikki defense. Away win in the cards. NASARAWA UNITED VS KANO PILLARS This is Kano Pillars’ first away game of the season after the armed robbery attack and continental assignment had caused the postponement of games at Heartland FC and Shootings Stars respectively. Nasarawa United failed to win their last home fixture against the Oluyole Warriors, a feat that happened only as the third time in their last 21 games. This explains how the Solid Miners have recently made a haven out of the Lafia Township Stadium where very few away sides have left unscathed. Meanwhile, Pillars’ visits to the stadium has earned them just two points in their last five games. LAST FIVE GAMES: NASARAWA UNITED - DLWLD KANO PILLARS – WWLWW STATS: Kano Pillars’ record of 5 conceded goals in previous league meetings with Nasarawa United is the least by any current side in the NPFL against the Solid Miners VERDICT: United are currently without their mojo. An away win should prove that. EL-KANEMI WARRIORS VS SUNSHINE STARS El-Kanemi Warriors had their Matchday 4 fixture against Warri Wolves postponed due to the clash with Wolves’ CAF Confederations Cup game. That is enough reason for El-Kanemi to be the more prepared side going in this tie. Sunshine Stars controversially won 2-1against Dolphins FC on Sunday without their gaffer Paul Ashworth in the dugout. However, the notable tactical event in the game was the introduction of Dele Olorundare in the half time as he made his debut this season. The return of Dele has further bolstered their chances of outscoring any opponent while the enormous quality in the attacking third for the Akure Gunners is now more vivid than ever. But will that earn them their first away win in three years remains to be seen as they embark on trip to consolidate their third position on the log. LAST FIVE MATCHES: EL-KANEMI WARRIORS – LWWLW SUNSHINE STARS – LDWLW STATS: El-Kanemi Warriors have won their previous two home fixtures against Sunshine Stars without conceding. VERDICT: A draw. SHOOTING STARS VS KWARA UNITED The rivalry developed in the recent meetings between Shooting Stars and Kwara United, the great urge for a victory, and the tale which connects the cities harbouring both sides mean this could always guarantee a spectacle. In their last outing, Shooting Stars bravely snapped a 3-game losing streak with a barren draw at one of the dreadful grounds in the league, Lafia Township Stadium. Franklin Howard would be hoping the draw is enough to really kick start their season as they face an arch rival in Kwara United. Kwara United were trounced 3-1 by league leaders Heartland FC at home as they suffered their first loss of the season on Matchday 4. The Afonja Warriors have been decent in their previous three games and the talent in the squad is undoubtable, but how long will it take them to reach their full potential is remains a mystery. 3SC defeated Kwara United by 2-1 in their last competitive meeting to qualify for the final of the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super Four tournament in February. LAST FIVE MATCHES: SHOOTING STARS – WLLLW KWARA UNITED – DDWDL STATS: 3SC have won four of their last five NPFL home fixtures against Kwara United. VERDICT: A home win |

The League Management Company (LMC) says it is in receipt of letters of apology written by the two Sunshine Stars players who were earlier in the week sanctioned for their behaviour during the Match Day 4 league game against Dolphins and will not take further actions against them. Prince Aggrey and Ebenezer Odunlami were on Monday banned for one league game each and fined N50, 000 for indecent exposure and behaviour capable of bringing the league to disrepute for stripping to their inner briefs to celebrate their teams second and winning goal against Dolphins. The LMC had also in line with the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) framework and regulations allowed the two players 48hours to either submit to the decision and or elect to be dealt with by a special LMC commission. However, following the separate letters of apology from the duo, the LMC has commended the players for accepting responsibility and admonished them to be of good behaviour going forward. Salihu Abubakar, the LMC Chief Operating Officer said, “the two players have written to accept full responsibility for their bad behaviour and have accordingly apologized to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the LMC, our broadcast partners; Supersport, the owners of the club; the Ondo Government, their employers; the Ondo State Football Agency, Supporters of Sunshine Stars and the general public”. Abubakar said the players must serve the one match ban and pay the N50, 000. The LMC, he said has further advised all Club Management to discharge their technical responsibilities to players and other personnel by providing continuous enlightenment on codes of conduct and other rules of the game

We are currently topping the league table and B.Ejike is leading the goal scoring chart. Up Heartland. Abia warriors will certainly go back to Abia empty handed this evening. |
