NPFL Matchday 26: Ikorodu City Face Enyimba Test in Aba, Rangers Eye Top Spot as 3SC Seek Redemption

The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) enters Matchday 26 with plenty at stake across the country as title contenders, mid-table hopefuls, and relegation battlers all prepare for decisive clashes.

League leaders Ikorodu City face a stern test in Aba against Enyimba, hoping to secure only their second away victory of the season.

Nasarawa United, meanwhile, travel to Katsina in search of their first win in four matches, while their hosts aim to build on last weekend’s thrilling 4-4 draw with Wikki Tourists and push into the top six.

Bendel Insurance will look to notch their 10th win of the campaign when they visit Bayelsa United, who sit precariously above the relegation zone.

Abia Warriors, winless in five, clash with struggling Remo Stars in a meeting of two inconsistent sides, one fighting for the title, the other battling to survive.

Plateau United, unbeaten in six under Gbenga Ogunbote, head north to face El-Kanemi Warriors, while Shooting Stars seek to end a two-game losing run at home against Warri Wolves.

Kano Pillars, resurgent in recent weeks, could finally climb out of the relegation zone with victory over Kwara United, whose season has been marked by disappointment.

Enugu Rangers, back in the title race after a slow start, host Wikki Tourists knowing that a win, combined with slip-ups from Ikorodu City and Nasarawa United, could see them rise to the summit for the first time this season.
