Plateau United will host second-placed MFM FC in a top of the table and title defining match at the Rwang Pam township stadium, Jos. The match day 34 matchup between the top two sides in the league could see Plateau United win the Nigeria Professional league for the first time since its establishment in 1975.
The absence of the NPFL highest goal scorer, Stephen Odey (18), his fearsome strike partner, Sikiru Olatunbosun, and Plateau United’s shot stopper, Dele Ajiboye – all due to National team involvements – takes a punch out of the match, but the fixture still promises to deliver tense, high octane, edge-of-the-seat football.
Kenedy Boboye’s charges will count on the vociferous Jos supporters and their impressive home form (15 wins, 1 draw) to keep them on track of winning their maiden premier league title.
