2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 13: Akwa United coach, Babaganaru, paints gloomy picture ahead of El-Kanemi Warriors' visit

Posted : 22 November 2024

The Technical Adviser of Akwa United FC, Mohammed Babaganaru, has opened up about the reasons behind his team's struggles in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season ahead of the Match Day 13 visit by El-Kanemi Warriors.  


The NPFL Match Day 13, expected to be played at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, will see the Promise Keepers hosting the league's draw specialists, the Desert Warriors, in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.

Babaganaru stated that the team's struggles are due to the various injuries that have plagued key members of the squad.  


He also highlighted inconsistency since the start of the season, with the Promise Keepers currently occupying the 16th spot on the log. Their poor form has been a significant issue this season.  


The former Kano Pillars coach pointed to poor goal-scoring form and injury concerns as the primary factors affecting the club’s performance.  


"Week in, week out, we keep working on that goal-scoring area, but so far, we haven’t gotten it right, and I’m not satisfied because we haven’t been scoring enough goals,” Babaganaru lamented.  


“Another thing is that we have a lot of injuries in the team. So many of our players are injured.  


"Most of our strikers are sidelined, and that’s why we’re still struggling with this problem.”  


It will, however, be a Herculean task for Babaganaru as he faces a side that has picked up points on the road this season, given his team’s poor form.

Since 2018, El-Kanemi Warriors and Akwa United have competed in four matches, resulting in two victories for El-Kanemi Warriors and two draws.
