Atule's return to form has been pivotal for Enyimba, as he previously showcased his skills by scoring twice and providing an assist in a 4-1 triumph against Black Bulls of Mozambique in the CAF Confederation Cup. His recent contributions have been impressive, totaling three goals and two assists in just two matches since returning to the starting lineup.
Looking ahead, Enyimba is set to face Kano Pillars in a rescheduled matchday 14 clash at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano. This upcoming match carries extra significance, as Enyimba suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Kano Pillars in the same fixture last season, with Abba Adam netting the decisive goal.
In the league, Anas Yusuf of Nasarawa United has emerged as a standout player, currently leading the scoring charts with 11 goals and one assist in 16 matches. His speed and dribbling ability have made him a formidable opponent for defenders. Additionally, Emmanuel Ogbole of Kwara United has made a mark with seven goals in ten appearances, drawing comparisons to Brazilian star Gabriel Jesus due to his intelligent play. Papa Daniel of Niger Tornadoes has also been highlighted for his midfield prowess, known for his deep runs that create scoring opportunities.
Despite their recent victory, Enyimba has struggled for consistency, having gone winless in their previous seven league matches before the win against Nasarawa United.
