NNL Match Day 15: Abia Comets set to continue fine run at home
By Patrick Ngwaogu
Abia Comets of Umuahia has continued to make a strong statement in the NNL going nine matches unbeaten.
The Umuahia outfit lost their last match in Week 5. Last weekend they went to Uyo to pick the maximum points from the den of Dakkada.
High flying Madiba was shot down in Calabar, while Vandrazzer continued its losing freak, losing at home.
28 goals were scored in eleven matches and Match Day 15 will be a must watch for all league followers
Conference A
Stomers vs Edel
Edel is an ambitious team with 24 points in their kitty. They will be heading for a broke in Abeokuta against the Stormers. I see the teams sharing points but an away win cannot be ruled out given Stormers not too impressive run.
Coal city vs 1472
1472 had the better of their encounter with stormers last week, they will be taking that to Enugu to confront the Coal city boys.
However, I am afraid if 1472 will return from Enugu with a point.
Abia Comets vs Smart City
Abia Comets are the raves of the moment, still basking in the euphoria of their nine match unbeaten run.
The Umuahia boys are poised to battle Smart City.
Picking the three points at stake will be the ultimate for the home team.
Madiba vs Dakkada
The Madiba boys were wounded last week in Calabar, and they would want to take it out on Dakkada FC at Mobolaji Johnson Arena this week end.
Beyond Limit Vs Rovers
The Bet9ja boys will be all out to garner another maximum points.
The boys from Remo will have the table in mind as they face Rovers.
Ekiti Utd vs Vandrezzer
Surely, Vandrezzer may have condemned themselves to the Nationwide league following their three goals to one loss against Beyond limit last week. In Ekiti this weekend, their problems will be compounded.
Conference B
Inter Lagos vs Tradesafe
International Lagos will pocket the three points in this match. Tradesafe will need an extraordinary performance for them to pick a point from the encounter.
FC One Rocket vs Warri Wolves
Warri Wolves may not escape in this match against FC One Rocket. The home team will leave no stone unturn to pick the maximum points at stake.
Ikorodu City vs Solution FC
Ikorodu city will not want to disappoint their home fans this weekend.
They will not want to spare the Solution boys for a minute.
Giant Brilla vs Osun United
Conference leaders, Osun United will give the Brilla boys a run for their money in Enugu. A draw looks likely as the outcome at the end of hostilities.
Crown Vs Ijebu Utd
Ajilete boys will take the three points. The Awujale boys will not be a threat at the end.
Conference C
Zamfara vs Mighty Jets
Zamfara United are having a very stubborn guest in Mighty Jets this weekend. The visitors are very determined as ever. Playing Zamfara in Gusau, the home team may however have the last smile.
ABS vs El Kanemi Warriors
ABS maybe in for a shocker against ambitious Elkanemi Warriors who are on the verge of returning to the Premiership. The youthful Saraki boys can however pull a surprise anyday, anytime.
NAF vs Yobe Desert Stars
The Airforce team is not posing any threat to teams this season. Against Yobe Dessert stars, the best for the home team will be a draw
Nasarawa Utd Vs Wikki Tourists
This should be the star match of the group. The result of the match will determine so many things in the conference.
A win for Nasarawa will see them topping the conference, depending on what plays out in Ilorin. However, it will be a match to watch at the Lafia City stadium. The home team will smile at last.
Conference D
Sporting Supreme vs City FC
A local derby to the core. Both teams have a lot to play for. Sporting Supreme picked the three points at the first stanza. City will go all out to seek a revenge in Bwari Township stadium this weekend.
Jigawa Golden stars Vs Sokoto United
High flying Sokoto United will be a hard nut to crack in Hadeija this weekend. Jigawa Golden Stars may pull a surprise one on their guest at the end.
Kebbi Utd Vs Adamawa Utd
Kebbi United pulled a hard one in Abuja last week, as they held City FC to a scoreless draw.
This weekend, they would try to consolidate on it against Adamawa United. Kebbi will surely take the three points at stake.
