Nigerian Premier League (preview Of Week Six) by honeric01(m): 3:51pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
Saturday, December 11, 2010 Shooting Stars v Plateau United The last time these two sides met in this same fixture was on July 17, 2004 and that game ended 1-1. But it will be a different tie this time with Shooting Stars having suffered back-to-back defeats at Kano Pillars and Enyimba. The Stars should get back to winning ways irrespective of the fact that Plateau United play some of the finest football in the league this season. And Plateau United will miss the experience of Ajibade Omolade, who is suspended for this game. Our prediction: 2 – 0 Recent head-to-head Wednesday, March 24, 2004: Plateau United 4 – 0 Shooting Stars Saturday, July 17, 2004: Shooting Stars 1 – 1 Plateau United Bukola Babes v Enugu Rangers The Flying Antelopes will head into this game with their free-scoring home run, which they have found difficult to replicate on the road. But the only advantage that Alphonsus Dike’s men have going into this game is that Bukola Babes will now play their home games at the Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna after the Offa Township Stadium was struck off the approved list of centres for matches by the Nigeria Premier League (NPL). Our prediction: 0 – 0 Dolphins v Warri Wolves Wolves dominated NPL’s Team of the Month but that mention will come under severe test on Saturday at the Liberation Stadium against Dolphins. Last season in this same fixture, Paul Aigbogun’s men got a point off Dolphins with Ehiosun Ekigho scoring before Emma Nwachi pulled the Port Harcourt side level. Both players are still in the thick of the action for both clubs and should play roles in this star game of the week. But Dolphins look sure bets for this one. Our prediction: 2 – 1 Recent head-to-head Wednesday, April 7, 2004: NPA (now Warri Wolves) 0 – 1 Dolphins Sunday, August 8, 2004: Dolphins 1 – 0 NPA (now Warri Wolves) Saturday, January 9, 2010: Dolphins 1 – 1 Warri Wolves Thursday, May 13, 2010: Warri Wolves 2 – 1 Dolphins Juth FC v Kwara United On January 30, 2008, Jos University Teaching Hospital (Juth) Football Club defeated Kwara United two-nil. James Amankwei, Chris Madaki, Fidelis Eze, Shola Olaniyi, Moshood Kasali and co will want to ensure that Juth FC grabbed their first win of the season against Kadiri Ikhana’s men at the Rwang Pam Stadium. Our prediction: 1 – 0 Recent head-to-head Saturday, January 12, 2008: Kwara United 2 – 0 Juth FC Wednesday, January 30, 2008: Juth FC 2 – 0 Kwara United Sunday, December 11, 2010 Kano Pillars v Enyimba The only time Nigeria’s ‘Big Two’ did not meet was in the 2006 season when an abridged format was adopted for the top-flight. In 12 head-to-head meetings since 2003, Kano Pillars have won four while Enyimba have grabbed five wins with the remaining ending in draws. For Kano Pillars, this is the best time to play the champions who nicked them to the title last term. The Peoples Elephant are in a crisis and we do not see them surviving the onslaught in Kano except Salisu Yusuf’s men fail to put the champions to the sword. Our prediction: 2 – 0 Recent head-to-head Wednesday, February 26, 2003: Kano Pillars 1 – 0 Enyimba Sunday, July 13, 2003: Enyimba 3 – 0 Kano Pillars Sunday, June 20, 2004: Enyimba 1 – 0 Kano Pillars Wednesday, March 10, 2004: Kano Pillars 1 – 1 Enyimba Wednesday, March 23, 2005: Enyimba 3 – 0 Kano Pillars Sunday, August 28, 2005: Kano Pillars 1 – 0 Enyimba Saturday, November 24, 2007: Kano Pillars 1 – 1 Enyimba Sunday, March 30, 2008: Enyimba 2 – 2 Kano Pillars Wednesday, December 17, 2008: Kano Pillars 2 – 0 Enyimba Wednesday, June 3, 2009: Enyimba 3 – 1 Kano Pillars Sunday, January 17, 2010: Kano Pillars 2 – 0 Enyimba Wednesday, July 7, 2010: Enyimba 2 – 1 Kano Pillars Zamfara United v Sharks This is a tricky trip for the Blue Angels, who are the other unbeaten side in the Premier League. John Obuh was in charge last season when Sharks held Zamfara United to a goalless draw – which is the best result that the Blue Angels have got on the road against Zamfara. Placed side by side on paper, Sharks have a brighter chance of taking all points from this game. Our prediction: 1 – 2 Recent head-to-head Sunday, February 13, 2005: Zamfara United 1 – 0 Sharks Sunday, July 24, 2005: Sharks 4 – 0 Zamfara United Sunday, October 21, 2007: Zamfara United 2 – 1 Sharks Saturday, February 16, 2008: Sharks 1 – 0 Zamfara United Sunday, October 26, 2008: Zamfara United 1 – 0 Sharks Wednesday, May 27, 2009: Sharks 3 – 1 Zamfara United Sunday, January 17, 2010: Sharks 4 – 2 Zamfara United Wednesday, July 7, 2010: Zamfara United 0 – 0 Sharks Sunshine Stars v Gombe United Gbenga Ogunbote’s side should continue with their impressive run at their Ijebu-Ode home ground – Gateway International Stadium. Gombe United have not won on the road against Sunshine Stars since 2003 and that does not look like it will change. Ukeyima Akombo has become a threat to every team that have played at the Gateway International Stadium. This should be Sunshine Stars all the way with Akombo set to grab his fourth goal of the season. Our prediction: 2 – 0 Recent head-to-head Saturday, March 1, 2003: Gombe United 2 – 0 Sunshine Stars Sunday, July 20, 2003: Sunshine Stars 3 – 1 Gombe United Thursday, October 25, 2007: Gombe United 4 – 2 Sunshine Stars Saturday, February 23, 2008: Sunshine Stars 1 – 0 Gombe United Sunday, November 16, 2008: Gombe United 0 – 0 Sunshine Stars Sunday, March 29, 2009: Sunshine Stars 2 – 0 Gombe United Saturday, December 12, 2009: Gombe United 2 – 1 Sunshine Stars Sunday, May 2, 2010: Sunshine Stars 2 – 0 Gombe United Ocean Boys v Niger Tornadoes The last four visits of Niger Tornadoes to Ocean Boys have surprisingly ended in same scoreline of 1 – 1. The Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa is yet to yield full points for basement team, Ocean Boys, since the start of the season. But Ocean Boys will be fired to get their first win of the season after a miserable start to the campaign, which has seen them get just two points from 15 and has left them in last position in the Premier League table. Our prediction: 1 – 0 Recent head-to-head Saturday, June 3, 2006: Ocean Boys 1 – 0 Niger Tornadoes Thursday, August 17, 2006: Niger Tornadoes 1 – 0 Ocean Boys Wednesday, January 31, 2007: Ocean Boys 1 – 1 Niger Tornadoes Saturday, April 7, 2007: Niger Tornadoes 0 – 1 Ocean Boys Saturday, October 20, 2007: Niger Tornadoes 2 – 0 Ocean Boys Sunday, February 17, 2008: Ocean Boys 1 – 1 Niger Tornadoes Saturday, November 22, 2008: Niger Tornadoes 1 – 0 Ocean Boys Wednesday, April 8, 2009: Ocean Boys 1 – 1 Niger Tornadoes Sunday, January 24, 2010: Ocean Boys 1 – 1 Niger Tornadoes Saturday, July 3, 2010: Niger Tornadoes 0 – 1 Ocean Boys Lobi Stars v Kaduna United Son Hingir was the goal scorer for Lobi Stars last season in this same fixture when they played a 1 – 1 draw with Kaduna United and he is still very much in the mix after his one-year suspension was provisionally lifted by the NPL last month. This clash between two sides that are outside of the top half of the log provides Kaduna United a big test against Dominic Iorfa’s men. United do have a chance of leaving Jalingo with a point considering the strength of their squad. Our prediction: 0 – 0 Recent head-to-head Saturday, June 3, 2006: Kaduna United 1 – 0 Lobi Stars Thursday, August 17, 2006: Lobi Stars 4 – 0 Kaduna United Sunday, November 9, 2008: Kaduna United 1 – 0 Lobi Stars Sunday, March 22, 2009: Lobi Stars 2 – 0 Kaduna United Sunday, October 11, 2009: Lobi Stars 1 – 1 Kaduna United Sunday, March 14, 2010: Kaduna United 2 – 0 Lobi Stars Heartland v Crown FC This is the 60th game of the season on NPL’s calendar. It will be a massive test for giant-killers, Crown Football Club. Already, Kwara United and Kano Pillars have tasted defeats in their hands though both came on home ground in Ilaro. Crown occupy ninth position on the table while Heartland are in 12th. But that should change at the end of Sunday when the Naze Millionaires should have won this one. Our prediction: 2 – 0 © SuperSport.com
