Can Kano Pillars pull off an upset, or will Remo Stars extend their dominance?

Football fans are in for a thrilling showdown this Saturday as Kano Pillars hit the road to face NPFL table-toppers, Remo Stars, at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne.

The Sky Blues have been in red-hot form, extending their dominance with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Sunshine Stars. That win pushed their tally to an impressive 45 points, solidifying their spot at the top.

Daniel Ogunmodede’s men wasted no time in their last match, firing in two early goals before conceding a consolation strike in the 68th minute. Despite their attacking prowess, their only slip-up since beginning of this campaign came in a goalless draw against Rivers United—a rare sight for a team that has been ruthless at home.

Remo Stars have turned their stadium into a fortress, netting 19 goals while letting in just four, earning them a staggering 31 points on home soil.

On the other hand, Kano Pillars are facing a crisis. The former NPFL champions are enduring a miserable run, failing to register a single win in their last five matches (L4, D1). With confidence at an all-time low, they will need a miracle to pull off an upset against the league leaders.

Can the Pillars defy the odds, or will Remo Stars continue their march toward NPFL glory? All eyes will be on Ikenne this Saturday.
