2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 29: Struggling Akwa United faces Continental slot-chasing Shooting Stars

Posted : 16 March 2025

It will definitely be a battle between two opposing sides in one of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 29 fixtures as relegation-threatened Akwa United FC welcomes continental slot-chasing Shooting Stars SC of Ibadan.


For the Promise Keepers, the battle to avoid relegation still rages as they sit deeper down the danger slope in 19th position with a paltry 28 points from 28 matches, having secured only seven wins, seven draws, and double the number of defeats with 14 losses.


On the other hand, the continental slot-chasing Shooting Stars sit in 4th position on the NPFL table with 43 points from 28 matches.


For the Kennedy Boboye-tutored team, the three points at stake will be crucial; otherwise, nothing else will matter.


Playing at the best stadium in Nigeria, the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Akwa United should be even more determined to take all three points as they continue to rack up points to escape relegation.


A win for Akwa United will serve as a warning to other relegation rivals of their readiness to retain their NPFL status.


This outcome is achievable, considering Shooting Stars' freefall over the last six weeks, during which winning has been a rarity.


However, the chase is not over yet for Gbenga Ogunbote, popularly referred to as the `Oracle', as he may decide to spring the old tricks of picking away points in Uyo.


Head to Head
Since 2023, Akwa United and Shooting Stars SC have played a total of 5 games, with 1 victory for Akwa United and 2 draws.
