The Oluyole Warriors welcome the Owena Waves to the Lekan Salami Stadium as they continue their battle against relegation
Akwa United Vs Wikki Tourists. With their eyes still firmly set on the league title, Wikki Tourists will be demanding victory when they face Akwa United on Sunday.
Currently sitting first with a total of 46 points, the MA Boys are ahead of Enugu Rangers on goal-difference. Following five points in their last five matches and a positive display against Abia Warriors in round 29, the Abdul Maikaba charges will continue to focus on maximising their points return in the pursuit of a CAF Champions League ticket and the title.
