The Ikon Allah Boys will be looking to secure their ninth win of the season when they face off against Heartland Owerri FC at the Bako Kontagora Memorial Stadium on Wednesday. Can the guests pull off a surprise stunt against Niger Tornadoes here?

Niger Tornadoes (13th)

Last five games: WWLDL

The Ikon Allah Boys have been inconsistent this season, heading here without a win in three games. More recently, they suffered a (3-0) defeat on the road against Bendel Insurance. The hosts, who were looking to bounce back from their stalemate, were somewhat stunned on the road, conceding three goals as goalkeeper Joshua Enaholo saw red. 

Niger Tornadoes have picked up thirty-one points from a combined seventy-one, scoring twenty-five and conceding twenty-nine. 

Niger Tornadoes have struggled on their home turf lately, and we think they’ll approach this game with utmost urgency. 

Heartland Owerri FC (11th)

Last five games: WDWLW

The Nazi Millionaire returned to winning ways, scoring twice against Shooting Stars at home. The game spurned a debate about whether the two penalties awarded to both teams were worth it. Heartland Owerri secured a (2-1) victory over Shooting Stars in a controversial game as the referee who officiated was suspended indefinitely. Regardless, it was a deserved victory for the hosts, who dominated the game from start to the end. 

After a poor start to the season, coach Amuneke has been pretty decent in the second half of the campaign, heading here with just a loss in six games. 

Heartland Owerri have picked up thirty-one points from a combined seventy-two, scoring twenty-three and conceding twenty-three. Amuneke's men have won once, lost seven, and drawn four in their last twelve away games.
