2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 26: Title-seeking Remo Stars set to compound Nasarawa United FC's woes

Posted : 25 February 2025

The title-chasing Remo Stars FC will travel to Lafia on Wednesday to face Nasarawa United FC, aiming to extend their lead in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) table to 13 points if they secure a win.

Matchday 26 of the 2024/2025 NPFL could be a defining moment for the Sky Blue Stars if they achieve an outright victory against a struggling Nasarawa United side.

Currently, the Solid Miners are battling to avoid relegation, making this a crucial test for Daniel Ogunmodede’s team. However, Remo Stars are unlikely to be intimidated.

Remo Stars boast 51 points and appear unstoppable on paper, while Nasarawa United, sitting in 17th place with 27 points, will be highly motivated to pull off an upset.

To focus on their league campaign, the Sky Blue Stars withdrew from the 2024 President Federation Cup, and their clash against the Solid Miners could determine whether they are genuine title contenders or mere pretenders.

For Nasarawa United, this match presents a crucial opportunity to escape the relegation zone, making it a must-win encounter.

Currently 19th in the standings, Nasarawa United (the Solid Miners) will face the league leaders, Remo Stars, who are widely tipped to win the NPFL title this season.

The Solid Miners will seek to claim three points on home soil against the Sky Blue Stars, hoping to close the 10-point gap and keep their survival hopes alive in an otherwise disappointing season.

However, Ogunmodede’s side is the most in-form team in the league, with four wins in their last five matches. They will be eager to deepen the woes of a Nasarawa United team that has managed only one win, two losses, and two consecutive draws in their last five outings.

Do the Solid Miners have enough fight to claim a crucial three points at home? Or will the well-drilled stars from Ikenne continue their march to glory? Only 90 minutes of football will decide.
