NPFL: Remo Stars and Rivers United Battle for Supremacy

As the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) enters the second half of the season, the competition is heating up with several key matches scheduled for the final days of 2024. Remo Stars and Rivers United are locked in a fierce battle for the top of the table, with both teams currently equal on 33 points but separated only by goal difference.

Remo Stars, who are unbeaten at home this season, will host Akwa United at the Ikenne Township Stadium on Sunday. Akwa United, however, have had a tumultuous recent run, winning just two of their last five games and suffering a 4-0 loss to Ikorodu City in their last outing. Despite their struggles, Akwa United have approached Kennedy Boboye to return as manager, although his impact may not be immediate due to the mid-season break[2][5].

Rivers United, meanwhile, will face Plateau United at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Monday. Rivers United are on a three-match winning streak at home and have been strong in their home games, earning 22 out of 27 possible points this season. Plateau United, however, are struggling, having failed to score in three of their last five league games and riding a seven-match losing streak away from home[2][4].

Shooting Stars have also been making waves, transforming their season with an impressive four-game winning streak that has seen them rise from 15th to 3rd place in the table. They aim to extend this streak to five consecutive victories when they host Kwara United in Ibadan[2].

Enyimba continues to face challenges, extending their winless run to eight matches after a draw against Plateau United. This marks their longest streak without a victory in 20 years, and they also have four outstanding matches due to their continental commitments[2].
