As the 2024/25 season progresses, GW5 promises another round of intense battles, with teams fighting for crucial points across the league. With 87 goals already scored in just four game weeks, the attacking momentum is high, and we here's what could unfold in this round of fixtures:

Edo Queens vs. Nasarawa Amazons

Location: Benin City

Talking Point: Can Edo Queens Bounce Back?

Edo Queens remain unbeaten but were held to a 1-1 draw by Dannaz Ladies last time out. They return home looking to reassert their dominance against a Nasarawa Amazons side that just secured a 2-0 win over Ekiti Queens. With Edo Queens aiming to return to the summit in Group A, Nasarawa will have to produce something special to take points from Benin City.

Ekiti Queens vs. Confluence Queens

Location: Ado-Ekiti

Talking Point: A Must-Win for Confluence Queens

Ekiti Queens suffered a 2-0 defeat in Lafia and will want to respond at home. Confluence Queens, on the other hand, remain winless after four games, mirroring their struggles from the 2022/23 season when they had just one point going into GW5 but eventually turned things around. If history is to repeat itself, the turnaround must start now.

Remo Stars Ladies vs. Dannaz Ladies

Location: Ikenne

Talking Point: Battle of the Stallites

Remo Stars Ladies have been one of the standout teams of the season, sitting strong in Group A after a dominant 4-1 win over Heartland Queens. Olamide Bolaji has been in red-hot form, scoring in every game so far. Following a hard-fought draw against defending champions Edo Queens, Dannaz Ladies will be looking to turn heads once again with another upset.

Heartland Queens vs. Abia Angels

Location: Owerri

Talking Point: Can Heartland Queens Finally Get a Win?

Heartland Queens are one of three teams yet to win a game this season. A 4-1 defeat to Remo Stars Ladies further raised concerns about their defensive vulnerabilities, and another difficult task awaits Heartland. They now face an Abia Angels side full of confidence. The visitors have clearly moved past their opening day disappointment and Mary Lucky’s hat trick in GW4 lifted them above Confluence Queens with a 3-0 win.

Rivers Angels vs. Bayelsa Queens

Location: Port Harcourt

Talking Point: The South-South Derby

One of the biggest fixtures of the round, Rivers Angels welcome Bayelsa Queens in a clash of heavyweights. Rivers edged Delta Queens 2-1 in their last game, while Bayelsa Queens dominated Adamawa Queens 3-0. While both teams are poised to make the Championship Playoffs at the end of the season regardless of what happens tomorrow, all the bragging rights are on the line as the five-time champion visit the seven-time winners.

Adamawa Queens vs. Benue Queens

Location: Gombe

Talking Point: Crucial Battle at the Bottom

Both teams sit in the lower half of the standings, and a win here could be the spark either side needs. Adamawa Queens were dismantled 3-0 by Bayelsa last time out, while Benue Queens narrowly lost 2-1 to Ibom Angels. Which side will rise to the occasion?

Naija Ratels vs. Delta Queens

Location: Abuja

Talking Point: Naija Ratels' Home Advantage

Naija Ratels are returning home after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Robo Queens in Lagos. They’ve earned four points from their last two games and will fancy their chances against a Delta Queens side coming off a 2-1 loss to Rivers Angels. Delta Queens have only collected three points from possible twelve, winning just once against bottom-placed Benue Queens. They come into GW5 on the back of two consecutive losses. Can Ratels build momentum, or will Delta Queens recover?

FC Robo Queens vs. Ibom Angels

Location: Lagos

Talking Point: Can Robo Queens End Their Winless Streak?

With the departure of key dressing room figures, if there's one team that can move on like nothing happened, it's FC Robo. The 2-2 draw against Naija Ratels meant Robo Queens have now gone two games without a win. They take on Ibom Angels, who just secured their first victory of the season against Benue Queens. With both teams eager for more points, this could be a fiercely contested match but the Lagos Landladies are the favorites to grab all three points in this one.
