After enduring a 2-3 loss to the league leaders, Rangers International FC, in the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 30 Oriental derby, Abia Warriors will seek redemption against visiting depleted Bayelsa United FC in Awka on NPFL Match Day 31.
Speaking ahead of the match, the head coach of Abia Warriors, Bethel Orji, stated that the team had put the loss against Rangers International FC behind them.
"We have an important match ahead, which will further shape our standing in the league against Bayelsa United FC. They are not pushovers despite their position in the NPFL table, and we need to take the match seriously. We don't want anything short of maximum points against them," he said.
For Bayelsa United FC, the match against Abia Warriors on Saturday is crucial to ensure their survival in the top flight division of the league as well.
The Prosperity Boys are just two points above the relegation zone and must be careful not to lose more matches.
Bayelsa United have yet to secure maximum points in the last three matches, as the last home Match Day 30 fixture against visiting Katsina United and the Match Day 29 fixture against Sunshine Stars FC ended in a 1-1 draw.
