Enugu Rangers and Heartland FC clash
at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu
while Shooting Stars visit Sunshine
Stars in an uncommon weekend of
regional ‘wars’ in the Glo Premier
League on Sunday.
The Week 8 fixtures will also see a
South-South inferno when Bayelsa
United host Dolphins FC in Yenagoa.
Heartland FC defeated Kwara United
3-1 in Ilorin but have lost consecutive
home games against kinsmen Abia
Warriors and Sunshine Stars. They
have to redeem themselves, and this
makes Sunday’s clash in Enugu one
oriental war to treasure.
Gabros International, with a 100 per
cent home record, are away to FC
Taraba in Jalingo, while Enyimba FC, who
surprisingly lost 0-2 to Gabros FC last
weekend, are at home to high-flying
Giwa FC from Jos.
Lobi Stars and El-Kanemi Warriors will
make the grass of Aper Aku Stadium,
Makurdi suffer, and Kano Pillars fans
will holler ‘Sai Masu Gida’ endlessly as
Sharks FC of Port Harcourt visit the
Sani Abacha Stadium.
Abia Warriors, with sweet memories of
their one million naira handout from
chairman, High Chief Emeka Inyama for
the victory over Heartland FC in Owerri,
play host to Kwara United, 1-0 winners
over title holders Pillars in Ilorin last
weekend.
Wikki Tourists of Bauchi, high on
confidence after a 4-2 lashing of
Enugu Rangers last weekend, are away
to Akwa United in Uyo.
Warri Wolves, Nigeria’s only remaining
team in the continent, take on
Nasarawa United at Warri City Stadium
– quality shooting practice ahead of
their CAF Confederation Cup play-off
first leg against AC Leopards in Dolisie
next weekend.
