NPFL: Remo Stars and Rivers United Battle for Supremacy

:As the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) enters the second half of its season, the competition at the top of the table is heating up. Remo Stars and Rivers United are locked in a fierce battle for the top spot, with both teams currently equal on points but separated only by goal difference.

Remo Stars, unbeaten at home this season, are set to host Akwa United at the Ikenne Township Stadium on December 29. Akwa United, however, have had a tumultuous recent run, winning only 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, though his impact may not be felt until after the mid-season break[2][3].

Rivers United, meanwhile, will host Plateau United in Port Harcourt on December 30. The Pride of Rivers are determined to maintain their position at the top and are confident given their previous 3-1 victory over Plateau United in Port Harcourt[2].

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

The league has seen significant action and drama, with Enyimba enduring a challenging season, including an eight-match winless streak, and other teams like Lobi Stars, Akwa United, and Nasarawa United struggling with only five wins each so far this season[2].
