In the latest developments in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), Lobi Stars have made a significant turnaround in their season. After a string of inconsistent results, Lobi Stars have bounced back to winning ways, securing a crucial victory against Plateau United. Waheed Adebayo's 45th-minute strike ensured maximum points for the host, marking their fourth win of the season and lifting them out of the relegation zone[1].

The NPFL is also witnessing intense local derbies that could significantly impact the league standings. This weekend saw several key matches, including the encounter between Shooting Stars and Kano Pillars. Shooting Stars, enjoying a good spell at home with six wins and two draws, are looking to extend their good fortune against Kano Pillars, who have been impressive on the road this season[4].

Another significant match is the South-South derby between Bayelsa United and Akwa United. Bayelsa United, under the guidance of Ladan Bosso, have turned their season around and are currently 10th on the log. Akwa United, without a head coach after parting ways with Baba Ganaru, are fighting to avoid relegation and need a win in Yenagoa to lift themselves out of the relegation zone[4].

Niger Tornadoes have also received a boost ahead of their match against Sunshine Stars, with Victor Okoro and Abba Khalid returning to full fitness. This match is crucial for both teams as they battle to improve their positions in the league table[5].
