The Naze Millionaires are in real trouble as they sit in the relegation zone in 18th position with 30 points in 29 games. Disappointing is an understatement to how poor the Owerri based side have fallen this season. They can hardly buy a win with a solitary victory in their past ten games or so. ‎They need to start accumulating points and has to start with form team, Nassarawa United. 

The Solid Miners come into this game on the back of impressive performances in the past month. A succession of successive 3-0 home victories of Sunshine Stars and El-Kanemi Warriors, sandwiched between a 2-2 draw against Ikorodu United and qualification for the semi-finals of the Federations Cup has increased confidence in Abdullahi Biffo's men which was evident in last week's game, where Seun Sogbesan, a Nassarawa United Player said they were going to score at least thrice against El-Kanemi Warriors which they ended up doing. 

With confidence high amongst the players of Nassarawa, the Naze Millionaires could be set for a frustrating afternoon.

NPFL WEEK 29 REVIEW: NASSARAWA UNITED VS EL-KANEMI ( El-Kanemi won 3-0 in the First meeting )


A battle of two teams with poor away record.

Nassarawa United go into this game after picking up their first away point in an entertaining 2-2 draw against struggling Ikorodu United last week. The Lafia based side are coming into this game after producing an upset in the Federations Cup by defeating holders Akwa United 1-0 in the quarter finals. 


Head to Head




They are currently placed 9th, and with no relegation dogfight hovering over them, they can now focus towards moving up the upper echelons of the league table. On the other hand, El-Kanemi Warriors are in desperate need of points coming into this game. 

The Maiduguiri based side are poor travellers which is a stark contrast compared to their impeccable home record. They sit a point above the relegation zone and need to start accumulating points to starve off relegation fight. They weren't in action last week as they were scheduled to play Giwa FC who had been expulled long ago. Its hard to look beyond a home victory here.

They are currently placed ninth on the NPFL table.

They have picked up 12 wins from 26 matches played.
