2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 33: Abia Warriors' coach, Amapakabo, talks tough ahead of Rivers United clash

Posted : 13 April 2025

Abia Warriors head coach, Imama Amapakabo, has insisted that his side will target maximum points against the visiting Rivers United FC in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 33.


Recall that the Pride of Rivers, with an almost assured continental ticket, have traveled to Aba to face the high-flying Umu Chineke, who are just behind them in third place with 50 points — five points separating the two sides.


However, for Amapakabo, nothing is more important in the match than the three points at stake, as he believes his team can still challenge for a top-three finish in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), despite their defeat to oriental rivals Enyimba in their last fixture.


The Umuahia club lost 2-1 to the nine-time champions in Aba on Sunday in the 2024/2025 NPFL Matchday 32 fixture.


Abia Warriors remained in third position despite the defeat but now face pressure from the chasing pack.


Amapakabo, however, remains optimistic that their continental ambition is still intact.


“We’re still in the race. We’ll chase it and run as fast as we possibly can. So, let’s see how it goes. Kudos to the boys.


“I think, in terms of goal creation, we had the better chances, but unfortunately, we lost to two strikes from outside the box.


“We will prepare for Rivers United,” he said.


Head-to-head record in the last 5 matches:
Abia Warriors have one win, two draws, and two losses against Rivers United.
