Mid-Table – Competitive but Inconsistent

11–17: Kwara United to Katsina United (43–41 pts)
    •    Only 2 points separate 7 teams.
    •    All mathematically still at risk of relegation depending on final results.
    •    Plateau United FC had 3 points and 3 goals deducted due to disciplinary violations, which significantly hurt their campaign.
