The Nazi Millionaire continues their resurgence in the league, marching here with a share of the spoils on their ground against Ikorodu City. They conceded first on their ground, but Chukwuma Agor levelled for them in the 66th minute. Heartland Owerri were below par against ten men Ikorodu City, and we think they should have done better. 

They have picked up six points from a combined twenty-one, scoring five and conceding eight. Amuneke's men will be keen to do better this time, having signed some decent players during the transfer window.
