By Alloy Chukwuemeka:
Enyimba's Technical Director, Kadiri Ikhana says despite having the league title assured, the People’s Elephants’ last league game of the season against Sunshine Stars of Akure in Lagos on Sunday is one he would not like to lose for whatsoever reasons.
The people's Elephant faces ambitious Sunshine Stars of Akure at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos on Sunday in the Week 38 final fixture of the Glo NPFL season.
Meanwhile, reports say that the Abia state Governor Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu is expected to lead thousands of supporters from Abia state alongside thousands of Igbo traders in Lagos to cheers the title winners to victory.
The Akure lads will put every arsenal in their armory to attack the Aba side as a win in the encounter guarantees them a CAF confederation slot next year even as they will keep an eye on the situation report at Lafia where another contenders Nasarawa utd trade tackles with enterprising Giwa FC of Jos.
A win for Nasarawa utd gives them the CAF ticket only if Enyimba succeed in a win or a draw against Sunshine in Lagos. But a slip by the Lafia side will change the permutation in favour of Giwa FC who needs only a draw to outwit the trio of Nasarawa utd, Sunshine stars and Wikki tourist to clinch the third place CAF slot.
The Bauchi side will pray for a goal harvest of about 7 - 0 against defending champions kano pillars at the ATBS stadium to create a record.
Aside Giwa FC which has the chance of getting a 64 or 66 points incase of a win or draw in Lafia, the likes of Nasarawa, Wikki and Sunshine will all end at 63 points if they win, while superior goal difference which favours Sunshine ahead of others may decide .
On the other hand, the battle to escape relegation is also fierce as 4 teams are battling the avoid joining the trio of Bayelsa utd, Kwara utd and FC Taraba who have bought their flight ticket to join the NNL league.
Dolphins FC, and city rivals Sharks Footballclub alonside Lobi Stars and Akwa utd are all in a big struggle to avoid drop. While the two PH teams are banking on a surprise away wins at Umuahia and Ibadan respectively playing Abia Warriors and Shooting Stars Sc Ibadan , Akwa utd will need a 4-0 win over Lobi stars FC to stay safe, Lobi stars will attempt to either win or draw in Uyo or at most curtail the homers from not scoring more than a goal win.
