NPFL Matchday 12 Preview: Top of the table clash, Southwest Derby highlight weekend

El Kanemi Warriors suffered their first loss of the season, falling 3-0 to Shooting Stars last weekend, just as Sunshine Stars’ Kennedy Boboye became the third coach to quit or be sacked this season.

Bayelsa United handed Rivers United their first home defeat in 91 games, marking a historic victory, while 214 goals have been scored across the 110 matches so far.

Rivers United aim to bounce back against Remo Stars in Ikenne, while Ikorodu City take on Shooting Stars in their first southwest derby at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos. Elsewhere, Enyimba and El Kanemi Warriors are determined to regain their winning form.
