South West Derby Lights up Group A as 11 Teams Look for First Wins Fisayo Dairo Match-day 3 of the 2022/2023 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season promises another round of scintillating football action wit
Match-day 3 of the 2022/2023 Nigeria Premier Football League season promises another round of scintillating football action with a tasty South West derby at Ikenne-Remo and a crunchy North East derby in Maiduguri the pick of the encounters.
3SC are not the only team in search of a win in Group A: the 2pmkick-off on Sunday between Nasarawa United and Akwa United also pits two sides looking for their first wins against each other. While Nasarawa have lost their first two games by the same 1-2 scorelines, Akwa United have one point courtesy of a dogged 0-0 draw at Enyimba on Wednesday.
Surprise group leaders Bendel Insurance have a trip to Ibadan to face Kwara United who are gradually coming around as the draw specialists. Having been held 0-0 in Ibadan by Gombe United on Match Day 1, the Harmony Warriors again battled stadium owners Shooting Stars to the same 0-0 score-line on Thursday. They now go in search of their first goal and win of the season against Monday Odigie’s Insurance on Sunday.
The group’s other front runners Rivers United and Niger Tornadoes have a meeting in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. Tornadoes’ defence is yet to be breached this term but that will come under serious scrutiny when they face defending champions Rivers United who are fiery at home.
