The Olukoya Boys come into this game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Kano Pillars. However, they will be boosted by the return of their home fans as they completed their ban which was playing behind closed doors. The punishment was as a result of the irate behaviours by hooligans in their 1-0 home defeat to 3SC weeks ago. They've been impressive in their maiden season in the NPFL and have won many admirers with their attractive style of football. Plateau United will seek to pull clear of the relegation zone by getting something here.
They defeated defending champions Enyimba 2-0 at the Rwang Pang Stadium in Jos last week thanks to an wave after wave of attack as they assaulted the visitors's goal from the outset of the game. Coach Zachary Baraje will be hoping his team puts in another spirited performance to help ease relegation fears. It'll be tough, but I'm backing a home win here.
