2023/2024 Nigeria National League week two preview
The 2023/2024 Nigeria National League season enters matchday two on 25/26 November, 2023. SportsRation presents a preview.
EDEL FC VS MADIBA FC
Edel FC picked an away point in their first game of the season, while the visiting Madiba FC forced newcomers Beyond Limit FC to a 1-1 draw. On matchday two, Madiba FC will be distraught by a road accident suffered on their road trip to Anambra. A sad development which could count in favour of Edel FC.
ABIA COMETS vs BEYOND LIMIT
Abia Comets are in pains from the 3-0 spanking in Ado- Ekiti last weekend. A young yet very talented Beyond Limits Academy will have it tough at the Umuahia Township Stadium this weekend. But this match is tricky.
COAL CITY vs EKITI UNITED
Fresh from a huge win on matchday one, Ekiti United FC will travel to Enugu high in confidence to face NNL newcomers Coal City FC. A difficult to predict match here. Very difficult.
ABEOKUTA STORMERS VS VANDREZZER FC
Abeokuta Stormers welcome new-look Vandrezzer FC to Ogun State matchday two of the 2023/2024 NNL season. Not their first meeting, both side faced-off on the 2021/2022 season. Stormers took maximum points in that game and will hope it goes the same way again.
1472 FC VS ROVERS FC
1472 FC earned a hard-fought point in their first-ever league game vs Dakkada FC in Uyo on matchday one. Against Rovers FC of Calabar, the new-boys will strive to consolidate as they play before their home crowd for the first time in the league.
SMART CITY VS DAKKADA FC
Both teams started their season with home-draws last weekend. They face-off in week two hoping to win. It could go either ways.
CONFERENCE B
FC ONE ROCKET vs GIANT BRILLARS
While FC ONE Rocket suffered a slim loss away in week one, Giant Brillars won their first home match of the season. For a team that reached the promotion playoff last season, Coach Ndubisi Ndah tutored Rockets cannot afford to drop points in Eket .
INTERNATIONAL LAGOS FC vs CROWN FC
International Lagos FC will be at home at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena this weekend. A southwest derby in week two that will serve fans – hot.
TRADESAFE VS OSUN UNITED
Tradesafe are in for a big challenge against Osun United FC. The Seye Ajayi tutored side are committed not to drop a point against any team at this stage.
WARRI WOLVES vs SOLUTION FC
Solution FC is taking a short trip to Warri to battle the Wolves from the river side at the Kwale Township Stadium. It is a match the home team will surely want to win.
CONFERENCE C
ZAMFARA UNITED vs NAF
Zamfara United team is a very compact team and will give the Airforce much to chew. The home side may smile home with the points.
EFCC FC vs NASARAWA UNITED
The Solid Miners will to Abuja to face a wounded anti-graft team. The EFCC boys were battered 5-0 last weekend by Wikki Tourists in a crazy second half in Bauchi. Coach Kabiru Sani and his boys will target revival against promotion chasing Solid Miners.
MIGHTY JETS VS WIKKI TOURIST
Mighty Jets are in for a battle in Jos this weekend. The former Federation Cup runners up went to Damaturu and returned with a point, and two goals. The Wikki Tourists Elephants are eager to return to the NPFL, and will leave no stone unturned to achieve that in Jos.
El KANEMI WARRIORS VS YOBE DESERT STARS
Another assumed local derby between the NPFL relegated Warriors from Maiduguri and their brothers from Damaturu, may see the home team smiling with the maximum points.
CONFERENCE D
CITY FC VS MALINTARKI CARE
The grass at the Old Parade Ground in Abuja will not remain the same after this weekend match. Both City FC and Mailantarki Care are both at home. They both lost their opening fixtures last weekend by a lone goal. This week, City boys will surely laugh last.
SPORTING SUPREME VS JIGAWA GOLDEN STARS
Sporting Supreme went to the Ginginya Memorial Stadium,Sokoto last weekend and overwhelmed the home team by two goals to one,in their adopted home.This week, they will try to consolidate against Jigawa Golden Stars at home.
SOKOTO UNITED VS ADAMAWA UNITED
Sokoto United are enjoying a second home game consecutively. They are welcome Adamawa United who were bye last week. A win for Sokoto will take them to the top of the group.
