Gameweek 9 arrives with matchups that could shape the playoff race and the relegation battle alike. At the top, teams are jostling for dominance, while at the bottom, survival instincts are kicking in. With each passing week, the margin for error shrinks, and the stakes grow larger.
Group A
- Abia Angels vs Edo Queens
Abia Angels have quietly built a strong campaign, but this is their toughest test yet. Edo Queens, the league’s most defensively resolute side, are yet to trail in a match this season. Can Abia Angels break through and cause an upset, or will Edo’s dominance continue?
- Heartland Queens vs Ekiti Queens
This is a battle of survival. Heartland Queens and Ekiti Queens have had their struggles, but Heartland needs this win desperately to avoid slipping further into trouble. For Ekiti Queens, their season has been built on home form—can they finally make an impact away from home?
- Remo Stars Ladies vs Confluence Queens
Remo Stars Ladies return home, looking to stay hot on Edo’s heels. Bolaji Olamide and her teammates have been relentless in attack, while Confluence Queens continue to struggle, sitting at the foot of the table. A daunting challenge awaits the visitors.
- Dannaz Ladies vs Nasarawa Amazons
Dannaz Ladies have had a rough introduction to top-flight football, but they’ll take confidence from a home fixture against Nasarawa Amazons. However, the Amazons know how to grind out results, and with a late win in GW8, they’ll arrive with momentum.
Group B
- Ibom Angels vs Rivers Angels
An all-Angels affair sees two teams at different ends of the spectrum. Rivers Angels have been ruthless, but Ibom Angels are no pushovers. With an unbeaten home record, Ibom could frustrate Rivers, who have their eyes on the summit.
- Naija Ratels vs Adamawa Queens
Naija Ratels have been inconsistent, but at home, they have a chance to reinforce their position in the top half. Adamawa Queens, on the other hand, need to shake off their defensive woes to avoid another punishing evening.
- FC Robo Queens vs Benue Queens
If ever there was a chance for Benue Queens to pick up their first points, this might be it. FC Robo Queens have been unpredictable—capable of brilliance and calamity in equal measure. But with Benue Queens sinking fast, can they muster a fight?
- Delta Queens vs Bayelsa Queens
Bayelsa Queens will look to tighten their grip on the top spot, but Delta Queens remain one of the league’s trickiest teams to face. Having kept things tight defensively, they’ll be aiming to slow down Bayelsa’s firepower.
As the league enters its crucial stage, every goal, every win, and every mistake carries extra weight. The battle lines are drawn, and Gameweek 9 promises another chapter of drama, heartbreak, and triumph.
