The Easterners come into this game on the back of a well earned one point in their goalless draw against Heartland FC of Owerri. They won their last home game 1-0 in Nnewi thanks to a header from one of their Brazilian imports--Alberico Da Silva. Unfortunately Alberico Da Silva will be missing this game due to a knock. Also Elu Wilson will sit out of the game due to Malaria.

Coach Rafael Everton would also want his team to build on their qualification for the semi finals of the Federation Cup following their victory over Sunshine Stars. Kano Pillars come into this game on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over MFM FC at the Sanni Abacha Stadium.

The 'Sai Maisu Gida' as they're popularly known will be confident of getting a point here as Gambo Mohammed will seek to add to his goal tally. It should be a fascinating game with a share of the spoils on the cards here.
