At the Katsina township stadium, newly promoted Katsina United will host Kwara United in their first test in the league.
Kwara United have recorded six wins and three defeats against Katsina United in their last nine encounters. Both teams have shared 20 goals as well, with Kwara United dominating with 13 while Katsina has seven.
Elsewhere, at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Bayelsa United will be up against Akwa United in what many assume is a South-south derby in the league. It was very similar to their first game last season, where they drew against Dakkada in Yenagoa. Bayelsa United, since returning to the top-flight league last season, have shown the capacity to stay up longer than they have ever done in the NPFL. However, they must improve in derbies because they failed to win any of the four regional games they played last season, collecting three draws and a defeat to Rivers United.
However, their record against Akwa United looks decent in their last six games. Both parties have drawn once, while Bayelsa United recorded two wins and three defeats.Enugu Rangers vs. Doma UnitedSunshine Stars vs. Kano PillarsShare this:
