Enyimba
With just four points separating them, Wikki Tourists travel to Aba to face Enyimba tomorrow in the star match of the 30-week old Nigerian league. Enyimba lead the pack with 55 points, four more than the duo of Warri Wolves and Wikki Tourists, who believe that anything can happen in the game with Enyimba.
Tomorrow’s match at the Enyimba International Stadium promises to be an explosive exchange of football fireworks between two title chasing sides, who would both pull al stunts to get maximum points.
If Enyimba triumph, they will pull seven points clear of Wikki, with six matches to play in the season, while an away win for Wikki will see them close the gap on the leaders to a point.
Warri Wolves, the other team on 51 points, have the stiffer test on their hand as they travel to the Sai Abacha Stadium to battle champions Kano Pillars, who with 44 points, feel they can still make something out of this campaign and finish with a continental ticket, which they have become so used to in the last three seasons that they have won the league title.
Wolves must be at their sterling and marauding best to escape from Kano unhurt as coach Babaganaru seeks to rack up three points after the 1-1 draw with Ifeanyi Ubah in Nnewi last weekend.
Indeed, Wolves will be playing Pillars with an eye on events unfolding at the Enyimba, Wikki match in Aba. And Wikki’s defender Mustapha Ibrahim has predicted that the game will be their biggest and toughest task so far this term. Speaking in an interview with supersport.com, Ibrahim said the clash might well define the season for either team.
“The match might make or mar either side’s claim to the title. We know the expectations and tasks ahead and we have a surprise package for Enyimba,” he said
