Bayelsa United: Form and Statistics

Bayelsa United has struggled at the start of the season. They lost 2-0 in an away match against Warri Wolves. Coach Okara's team has had trouble staying consistent, winning only one of their last five games. In fact, they've only won one of their last seven NPFL games. Due to these poor results, the club has given the players and coaches a two-match deadline. This starts with their away game against Warri Wolves this weekend and ends with their home game against Plateau United on October 31, 2025. Chairman Tarilaye Nwankwe expressed his unhappiness at an emergency meeting in Yenagoa. With 11 points from nine games, Bayelsa United is in 13th place. The next two games are crucial for their position in the league and the future of their coaches. Last weekend's 2-1 loss at home to Kun Khalifat, a newly promoted team, was a turning point. Despite Uche Moses scoring in the second half, goals from Mustapha Jawad and Hassan Olubode helped Kun Khalifat complete a comeback. So far, Bayelsa United has three wins, two draws, and three losses in eight games. They've scored less than one goal per game on average, while conceding a little more. The next two games will be crucial. If they beat Warri Wolves and Plateau United, things could improve. But if not, their position could worsen. The team isn't in a terrible spot, but they're not in control either. They’re close to a breakthrough, but it’s unclear if they’ll get there. The management's message is clear: the team's performance must match the money spent.

Monday Gideon gave Plateau United the lead just five minutes into the second half. Enyimba’s Jonathan Jacob equalized in the 68th minute, but Gideon scored again in the 76th minute to secure the win for the home side.

This was Enyimba’s third straight loss in the league, following defeats to Warri Wolves and Kun Khalifat FC. The team is now in ninth place with three wins, four draws, and three losses.

The club emphasized the importance of winning, saying, “Enyimba FC has high expectations of excellence. While we appreciate the efforts of the technical crew, the current results don’t meet our ambitions.” The club also reassured fans that steps are being taken to improve their performance as the season goes on.
