Match day 24 is here and this is the point where we can’t afford to slow down. The hard work and resilience that have brought us this far need to be doubled—we keep pushing. 

Next up, we head to Lafia, where 17th-placed Nasarawa United will host us at the Lafia City Stadium. For them, it’s a chance to do the double over us and climb the table. For us, it’s about setting things right after that 2-1 defeat at home back in September on MD 4.Those were tough times, but we’ve come a long way since then. Now, we go again—no holding back.

What Happened in Lagos?

If you remember clearly, that game came at a really tough time for us. Chilaka Thankgod’s goal, which was our first goal in the topflight wasn’t enough, as Anas Yusuf and Kabiru Balogun’s goals gave the Lafia side all three points. It was a setback, especially coming just three days after losing at home to the champions, Rangers.

That was a testing period, but with your support behind us, we stayed strong and bounced back. Now, the past doesn’t matter—it’s all about what we do now and in the games ahead. With that in mind, we’re ready to give our all.

Team News

For team news, Emmanuel Solomon, Rivio Ayemwenre, and Salau Yusuf won’t be available due to personal reasons. Shola Adelani is also a doubt as he’s currently in camp with the Flying Eagles U-20 team

Facing Nasarawa United

Nasarawa United may be struggling in the relegation zone, but they’re still a threat, especially at home. Their last seven games have only produced two wins, both coming on their home turf. For us, with four straight away losses, we know we have to step up and get the important point(s).
