NPFL: Enyimba Vs Akwa United On 8th March 2015,4pm by Evestar200(f): 2:44pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
The Glo Premier League season is back and what a fixture to kick things off for these teams. Enyimba International of Aba host neighbours Akwa United on Sunday 8th of March and going by history, this is a fixture of no dull moment both on and off the pitch. The main event is 4:15pm Sunday evening when these two teams will go head to head seeking maximum points. We bring to you an array of stars to watch from both sides, key battles that could decide the encounter. Ezekiel Bassey v Nnamso Edo Following in the footsteps of record goalscorer Mfon Udoh and Femi Thomas, Bassey switched sides in preseason to join the Peoples Elephant. His displays especially during the Super-4 Invitational Tournament were promising and surely a sign of good things to come. Pacy, quick feet and full of tricky, Bassey has an opportunity to win over the hearts of the Aba fans who will as usual pack out the Enyimba Stadium to see him make a debut for Enyimba on Sunday. In other words, the brotherly hugs and high fives with his former teammates will surely wait till after the game. Standing in his way will be the energetic, strong and versatile Nnamso Edo. His nose for long range volleys and free kicks is a nightmare to any opposition. Enyimba will be cautious conceding free-kick yards off the area, particular when they reflect on his rattling 25 yarder that sealed a win for the Promise Keepers in Uyo a couple of seasons ago. Edo however understands the quality of the man facing him on the flanks and this may limit his attacking forays. An exciting one for the neutrals watching these two former teammates try to edge it over each other. Ifeanyi Anaemena v Aniekpeno Udoh Few Enyimba fans will forget the goalless draw with Giwa FC last season. It was a game many defined as the low point of last season and it eventually cost the manager his job. At the heart of the visiting defence that day was a tall well built centre-half, Ifeanyi Anaemena who gave the Enyimba strikers a torrid afternoon. The reward he eventually got was a move to Enyimba in pre-season. A strong commanding presence, Anaemena already looks at home in the Enyimba defence. Played all but one game at the Super-4, He surely looks the mould of previous Enyimba center backs. Sunday's game pits him against Aniekpeno Udoh whose rise has been steady since joining the Promise Keepers from Amateur side, Hill FC. His strong and captivating performance in the closing stages of last season simply won over the hearts of fans of the Uyo side. The big striker who is being likened to Chelsea’s Didier Drogba is poised to give Anaemena and his co defenders a torrid time on Sunday but you cannot help but admit that it is a good matchup. Akwa United’s hope for goals or a positive outcome in the epic fixture lies on the power and pace of Aniekpeno. Chima Uluocha v Ini Akpan Kadiri Ikhana will slip in yet another new recruit into his starting eleven on Sunday. The coach ripped state rivals Abia Warriors of their influential captain and midfield general Chima Uluocha and his first task for the league season will be to do a tidy 'dirty job' in heart of the Enyimba midfield. Shielding the defence is one, but also vital will be his attacking contribution. Chima is a natural leader, so expect his usual 'barking and pointing' throughout the game. As an influential captain and source of inspiration to his teammates, Ini Akpan is expected to rally his colleagues for a swipe at the Peoples Elephant in the opening fixture. The schemer, who was injured for most of the second half of last season is fully fit and back to action. His wealth of experience and versatility will be very key to delivering quality passes required by the strikers for goals to emanate. In all we are set for a feisty tasty encounter on Sunday. The game is live on SuperSport 9 from 4pm. 1 Like |

Enyimba lost the league title last season because they drop points in about three games at home.I hope they don't repeat the same mistake this season. |

Enyimba vs Akwa Utd Preview: Enyimba still have last season's top scorer in their team, Mfon Udoh, and have added Ezekiel Bassey from Akwa United. The Uyo-based club have only taken a point in their last six trips to Aba including losing 1-0 in this same fixture last season. Could their fortune change this time? # enyakw |

Giwa FC vs Abia Warriors Preview: Both clubs were among the newcomers last term but their performance in their debut season belie that tag. This time they will look to build on their debut outings in the # GloNPFL as they face off in day one of the season. Last season Abia Warriors took four points off Giwa FC over two legs including securing a scoreless draw in this fixture. Can the Umuahia club repeat that feat again? # GIWABI |

El-Kanemi vs Nasarawa Utd Preview: Last season, El-Kanemi cruised past Nasarawa United 3-1 in this fixture. El-Kanemi have not lost to Nasarawa in their last four home matches. But the Maiduguri-based club have seen some of their men leave the team including the central defence duo of Reuben Ogbonnaya and Joel Djondang to rivals Kano Pillars. Nasarawa United will now look to pounce though they have had their own fair share of player departures as well # elknas |

Wikki vs Shooting Stars Preview: The two teams are back in the elite division and go head-to-head straightaway on the opening day. Their last # GloNPFL meeting was in August 2013 when Wikki won this same fixture 2-1. Shooting Stars will draw inspiration from their outing in Bauchi in March 2004 when they won 3-2. Also in March 2010, the Ibadan club secured a goalless draw in Bauchi. Coincidentally, it is March again this time and Shooting Stars will look to ride on their luck # wiksho |
