Many followers of the Nigerian premier league can firmly attest that this year's cup chase has been the most dramatic. Dramatic in the sense that no team has ever enjoyed one week un-interrupted dominance on the league table without being dethroned by fellow aggressive contenders. As it stands now ,today will determine the league champions and the three other clubs that will be relegated.Champions Kano Pillars, Bayelsa United and El Kanemi are jostling for the championship, while as many as 10 teams are still not safe in the battle for survival.

Only Shooting Stars are confirmed for the dreaded drop.

Favorites Pillars lead with 63 points, followed by Bayelsa United with 61 points and El Kanemi have 60 points with a healthy +11 goals difference and all three contenders will play away from home and any of them could still clinch the title on Sunday.
Pillars who are desperate to retain the title, face a tough duel in Katsina-Ala, where they battle Lobi Stars who need all the three points to stay afloat, Lobi is currently on 49 points, and in 18th position and must beat Kano Pillars to end up with 52 points to stand a chance to escape relegation.
