Pillars To Restore Hope Against Heartland
Action in the Nigerian Professional Football League enters its 17 week today, with Kano Pillars seeking redemption against Heartland at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.
Having lost to El Kanemi 1-2 in Maiduguri in week 16, the sai ma su gida will be looking to claim the three points at stake today and climb up the log, back to second place, behind Enugu Rangers, who sit in first place.
Heartland, who fell to Tornadoes during mid-week action, will be looking to further prove that they can get the three points at stake, following in the steps of Enyimba and other teams who have made the home side sweat in their domain.
League leaders Rangers, who have not won their last three games, will host NPFL whipping boys Ikorodu United in a game they are sure to win at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, while in-form sides Warri Wolves and Sunshine Stars will go for each other’s jugular at the Warri City Stadium.
Wolves were in devastating form as they edged Shooting Stars 2-1 in Ibadan in a mid-week clash, while Sunshine Stars defeated Rangers in Akure, via the same score-line. It will be an interesting clash, with both sides spoiling for the three points at stake.
Second-placed Rivers United who have won their last three fixtures face a tough battle in their bid to stay unbeaten when they confront Abia Warriors.
