2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 2: Kano Pillars await Bayelsa United siege

Posted : 14 September 2024

After last weekend's defeat in Ijebu-Ode, Bayelsa United returns to the Samson Siasia Stadium, where they will host former Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Kano Pillars, in Yenagoa.


The Prosperity Boys will seek to rewrite their story on Sunday against the Sai Masu Gida side, having lost 3-0 to Sunshine Stars on matchday one.


Last season, Bayelsa United beat Kano Pillars 2-1 at home. Goals from John Bassey and a late strike from Elvis Ori secured a deserved victory for the Yenagoa-based side.


Bayelsa United have won six times in their past 14 meetings with Kano Pillars. On March 4th, 2009, Bayelsa United held Kano Pillars to a 1-1 draw at the Sani Abacha Stadium. On February 25th, 2009, Kano Pillars defeated Bayelsa United 2-0, and both teams shared the spoils on February 17th, 2009.


Nicknamed the Prosperity Boys, Bayelsa United defeated Kano Pillars 2-0 at the Oghara Township Stadium on May 18th, 2008. They played out a draw against Kano Pillars at the Sani Abacha Stadium on January 15th, 2008.


On August 9th, 2015, both sides settled for a 1-1 draw. In the same year, Sai Masu Gida beat Bayelsa United 2-0 at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.


Bayelsa United have won six matches against Kano Pillars, while Kano Pillars have won four, with four ending in draws.


The current head-to-head record shows Bayelsa United and Kano Pillars each winning one match in their respective home fixtures.


The last three games between Bayelsa United and Kano Pillars have produced eight goals. Bayelsa United are unbeaten in their last seven home games.


Speaking ahead of Sunday’s game, technical adviser Ladan Bosso said the team has put last week's disappointing outing behind them and is now focused on the clash against Kano Pillars.


Despite the defeat, the experienced Bosso believes that the team can still win the league, stating that the result against Sunshine Stars was just a temporary setback.


He urged the fans and people of Bayelsa not to relent in their support for the team, expressing optimism about securing victory on Sunday.
