Nasarawa United: Form and Statistics

After beating the champions Remo Stars 2-1 in a rescheduled match on Thursday in Lafia, Nasarawa United took back the top spot in the Nigeria Premier Football League. The Solid Miners came back strong after losing their last two games. They now have 22 points from 11 games, one point ahead of the Abia Warriors, who are in second place. Michael Ibe scored in the fifth minute to give Remo Stars the lead. This was his first goal in a domestic game since coming back from injury. But John Joshua scored in the 32nd minute to tie the game for Nasarawa United. JoFrank Isitifanus scored the game-winning goal 11 minutes from the end, which made the home fans very happy. Remo Stars are still in the relegation zone with 10 points, even though they lost. They have two games left to play. This win was Nasarawa United's first in three league games, and it put them back at the top of the table. Sulaiman Folarin, the assistant coach of Remo Stars, thought that Nasarawa United were lucky in the game. He said the game was hard, but he praised his players for how hard they worked.

Kwara United: Form and Statistics

Kwara United will not have Issa Gata or Akanni Akeem for their Matchday 12 game against Nasarawa United. Gata hurt himself in practice, and Akanni hurt his hamstring in their last game against Remo Stars. Both players are likely to play in the Southwest derby against Shooting Stars. On Sunday, Kwara United will play Nasarawa United at the Lafia City Stadium. The Harmony Boys want to keep their four-game winning streak in the NPFL going. They are currently in eighth place in the league with 16 points. Club captain Kabir Mohammed assured fans that the team is focused on getting back on track. He promised they would work hard until they reach their best. The return of Olaniyi, Babatunde, and Ajiboye strengthens the team’s lineup, which will be crucial for Suleiman’s goals moving forward.
