NNL Matchday 3 Preview: A Fight-to-Finish Week Before Christmas Break.

 





Matchday 2 delivered an exciting spectacle with 40 goals scored across 16 matches in the four NNL conferences. As the teams settle into the league, Matchday 3 presents an opportunity to end the year on a high note before the Christmas break. Here’s a breakdown of the key matches across the conferences:


 CONFERENCE  A 


 1472 FC  vs Smart City


A rescheduled Lagos derby with high stakes for 1472. After missing their away match against Abia Comets, another forfeiture could have seen them out of the league. With a new date pending and a two-week break ahead, 1472 may have time to regroup and reenter the competition fully.


 Beyond Limits vs Abia Comets


This promises to be the standout match of the conference. Beyond Limits will aim to dominate at home, while the visitors from Umuahia look to prove their mettle in a game poised to showcase the league’s quality.


 Warri Wolves vs Igbajo United 


After suffering a 3-0 defeat to Beyond Limits, Igbajo United faces another tough test against the Wolves in Warri. The home side will be eager to capitalize on Igbajo’s shaky form.


 Ijele FC vs Dakkada FC


Ijele FC seeks redemption after surrendering a lead to lose 2-1 to Crown FC last weekend. A home game against Dakkada offers the chance to bounce back and regain fans’ confidence.


 Inter Lagos vs Crown FC


A rescheduled match that could swing in Inter Lagos’ favor whenever it is played.


 CONFERENCE  B 


 First Bank vs Sporting Lagos 


Sporting Lagos’ formidable reputation makes this match an uphill battle for First Bank, despite being at home. The rescheduled fixture promises fireworks whenever it takes place.


 Gateway United vs Rovers FC


With just one point from two games, Gateway United needs a win to salvage their campaign. Hosting Rovers in Abeokuta, Coach Festus Allen will push for nothing less than victory.


 Kun Khalifa FC vs Osun United


Kun Khalifa FC has made a strong start, winning both opening matches. However, the in-form Seye Ajayi boys from Osogbo are set to give them a real test.


 Abakaliki FC vs Godswill Akpabio FC


Dubbed the “Battle of Newcomers,” both teams will seek to assert themselves. The home side appears better positioned to claim three points.


 Madiba FC vs ABS FC


This rescheduled clash pits ABS, fresh off a 5-2 victory over Abakaliki, against Madiba in Lagos. Expect a fiercely contested encounter.


 CONFERENCE  C


 Zamfara United vs Gombe United 


Zamfara United faces an uphill battle against Coach Bala Nkiyu’s well-drilled Gombe side. A draw might be the best Zamfara can hope for.


 Barau FC vs Jigawa Golden Stars 


After suffering a 2-0 defeat to Wikki Tourists, Barau FC returns home determined to bounce back against Jigawa Golden Stars.


  Mighty Jets vs Wikki Tourists 


With six points from two games, Wikki Tourists look dominant. However, the Mighty Jets’ fighting spirit may provide stiff resistance.


 CONFERENCE  D


 FC Basira vs Doma United 


After a hard-fought draw in Abuja, FC Basira will aim to keep their momentum alive. Against Doma United, expect an action-packed encounter at the Lafia Township Stadium.


 Adamawa United vs Sporting Supreme 


Adamawa United’s struggles continue after back-to-back losses. Facing the in-form Sporting Supreme, who thrive both home and away, could spell further trouble.


 Kada Warriors vs Yobe Desert Stars 


Returning from a bye week, Kada Warriors will aim to build on their opening win against Adamawa United. The home side hopes to prove their strength against the Yobe Desert Stars in Kaduna.


Matchday 3 is shaping up to be an intense week of action, as teams vie for crucial points heading into the festive break. Stay tuned!
