We ended the month of November with a win over El Kanemi Warriors with a 2-0 scoreline at home. The win meant we went through the month of November without suffering defeat and also dropped points just once in the goalless draw against Niger Tornadoes in Minna.

All of the solid performances saw us climb up to fifth in the league table, five points behind league leaders Remo Stars which gives us a lot of confidence and boost to perform even better in December.

Akwa United: The Promise Keepers

Akwa United are a talented side but have suffered a lot of bad results this season, leaving them in the relegation zone. Akwa United are currently 17th on the table, managing only 15 points from 14 games so far which isn’t good for the former league champions.

However, the come into this one on the back of a 1-0 home win over Plateau United which tells how dangerous they can also be when given the chance.

In terms of goals, Akwa United with their quality have struggled in front of goal, scoring just 10 goals in 14 games this season and only scoring twice in away games all season. They however have conceded 12 goals this season and managed a shutout away from home just once this season.
