Top of the Table: Title Race

1. Remo Stars FC (61 pts, GD +18)

• Clear league leaders with a 6-point lead.

• Strong goal difference suggests balanced attacking and defensive play.

• Likely title contenders with 6 matches to go.

2. Rivers United FC (55 pts, GD +9)

• In pursuit but need Remo Stars to drop points to have a shot at the title.

3. Abia Warriors (50 pts, GD +3)

• Outside chance of catching the top two, but more realistically aiming for continental qualification.

4. Ikorodu City FC (49 pts, GD +14)

• One of the league’s better attacking sides; could move into top 3 with a solid run.

 

Continental Qualification Battle

• Positions 2–4 likely in the mix for CAF competition slots.

• Shooting Stars (5th, 48 pts) and Rangers International (6th, 46 pts) are still in contention.

 

Mid-Table Safety Zone

• Bendel Insurance (7th) to Plateau United (12th) range from 46 to 42 points.

• This group is likely safe from relegation but out of title/continental reach.

 

Relegation Battle

• Lobi Stars (20th, 25 pts, GD -18) and Sunshine Stars (19th, 35 pts, GD -16) look in deep trouble.

• Akwa United (18th, 37 pts) and Heartland FC (17th, 38 pts) are in the drop zone but close to safety.

• Nasarawa United (16th, 39 pts) and Katsina United (15th, 40 pts) are just above the relegation line and must stay alert.

 

Special Note

• Plateau United were deducted 3 points and 3 goals for an infraction.

• Without the deduction, they would be on 45 points, placing them around 9th and in a more comfortable position.

 

Key Observations

• Tight battle for 3rd to 6th with only 4 points separating them.

• Relegation fight is fierce with only 5 points separating 16th and 18th.

• Goal Difference Impact: Teams like Ikorodu City and Rangers benefit from strong GD, crucial if points are tied.
