Week four of the Nigeria Premier Football League throws up intriguing battles at both ends of the table, with survival and supremacy on the line.
Ikorodu City vs. Barau FC — Draw Specialists Target Breakthrough
Ikorodu City may not have lost a game this season, but three consecutive draws have left them stuck on three points. The Lagos side has shown resilience, but now the focus must shift from avoiding defeat to securing victory. Their home fixture against Barau FC looks like the perfect chance.
Barau, new to the top flight, have collected just two points from their opening three matches. Their defense has looked vulnerable, and unless they find a sharper edge, Ikorodu City could finally taste their first win of the season. The fans at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena will expect nothing less.
Plateau United vs. Remo Stars — Top Meets Bottom
At the summit, Remo Stars are flying high with seven points from three games. Their balance of strong defending and ruthless attacking has made them early title favourites. They travel to Jos to face Plateau United, who are enduring the opposite fortune.
The Peace Boys have yet to earn a single point after three matches, their confidence dented, and their defense leaking goals. Remo Stars will arrive hungry to extend their stay at the top, and on current form, they look ready to compound Plateau’s early woes.
