Sokoto United, Sporting Supreme qualifies for Super 8 play off as Conference D ends in style.
*CONFERENCE A*
Edel vs Rovers
Rovers will have a big task in Awka. They will put up over one hundred and fifty percent performance to get a result in this match.
Dakkada vs Vandrezzer
This is a local derby that can go either way. If the Vandrezzer boys are well motivated will be a big factor in the match.
Coal city vs Abia Comets
This is a match to watch. Abia Comets is in a very devastating form, going 12 matches without losing any. This record should send shivers down the spines of any team in the group. But, against the Coal city boys, it would be a different ball game. Coach Kelvin Ejeh and his boys will give the Enugu football fans a good game to watch.
1472 vs Beyond Limit
The Bet9ja boys are ready to give any team a fight for their money. This weekend in Lagos, it will not be surprise if they run away with an away win.
Stormers vs Madiba
Another Stormy weekend for the Abeokuta Stormers as they welcome the group leaders, Madiba FC. It will an entertaining encounter that may see the two teams sharing the points.
Smart City vs Ekiti Utd
This is a match that the Smart city boys will put everything in to pick the maximum points. Ekiti United will not be a small nut to crack.
CONFERENCE B
Inter Lagos vs FC One Rocket
International Lagos will use this match against FC One Rocket to improve their stand on the group.
Tradesafe Vs Giant Brillars
This match is a match of two strugglers. Both teams will use this match to improve their standing.
Gateway vs Ikorodu city
This will be a good game to watch. The Ikorodu boys are really on fire, and will not want to drop a point in Abeokuta. However, the Gateway who had their unbeaten runs punctured last weekend, will surely want to redeem themselves.
Solution vs Ijebu Utd
Coach Festus Allen is taking his first away trip to Awka against the Soludo Solution boys. It's a match that the two teams needs desperately to stay safe in the league. But, the home team may take this one.
Warri Wolves vs Crown FC
Crown FC are eyeing the quest to topple the leaders of the group, but in this match against Warri Wolves, it will be a dicey one for them.
*CONFERENCE C*
EFCC vs NAF
Too bad, two Abuja based teams sets to condemned each other to the lower division of the league. NAF are already relegated, a win for EFCC will see them survive the drop.
Elkanemi vs Wikki Tourist
This match will reshape the standing on this group. A win for Elkanemi will see them opening a wide gap on top of the group, and will further make the play off qualification of Wikki Tourist a mirage. But, a positive result for Wikki, will make the top slots struggle stiffer.
Mighty Jets vs Nasarawa Utd
For the promotion bid of Nasarawa United to be successful, they must get a positive result in this match against Mighty Jets in Jos. The home team is a traditional team that will put all into the match to get all the points at stake.
Zamfara Utd vs ABS
This is a very dicey match for the two teams. A win in the match, will see Zamfara continue their stay in league, while a lose will see ABS joining NAF to return to the Nationwide league, depending on the out of the home game of EFCC.
*CONFERENCE D*
City vs Sokoto Utd
The outcome of this match is very inconsequential to both teams. Sokoto United has already booked their position in the Super 8 play off, while City FC will be thinking on how to start a new life in the Nationwide League next season.
Sporting Supreme vs Kebbi Utd
Despite the ugly experience in Dutse last week, Sporting Supreme will only confirm their position in the Super 8 play off. Kebbi United will only struggle to consolidate their position in the league.
Mailantariki vs Jigawa
This will be a battle of two relegation bound teams. If two teams will be relegated from this group, one of the these two will join City FC.
