Enyimba, Rangers Chase Redemption As Lagos Rivals Clash In NPFL

Enyimba will look to end their winless run when they host Shooting Stars in one of four Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) fixtures scheduled for Wednesday.

The Aba giants have endured a difficult start to the campaign and will be under pressure to return to winning ways when they welcome their south-west rivals, Shooting Stars, in a 4pm kick-off.

Enyimba were held to a goalless draw by Kano Pillars in their previous outing, extending their wait for a victory and leaving the former champions searching for a much-needed lift.

They face a Shooting Stars side expected to provide another stern test, with both teams keen to strengthen their positions on the league table.

Elsewhere, defending champions Enugu Rangers will seek an immediate response when they travel to Warri Wolves.

Rangers suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Ikorodu City in their last match and will be determined to avoid another setback as they attempt to get their title defence back on track.

Warri Wolves, meanwhile, will be hoping home advantage can help them claim maximum points against the champions in what promises to be a demanding encounter.

In Lagos, city rivals Sporting Lagos and Ikorodu City will renew hostilities in a highly anticipated derby at 4pm.

Ikorodu City enter the contest with confidence following their impressive 2-0 victory over Rangers, while Sporting Lagos will be looking to respond after being held to a 1-1 draw by Barau FC in their previous match.

The derby presents Ikorodu City with an opportunity to build on their victory, while Sporting Lagos will be eager to secure bragging rights and all three points on home soil.

The fourth fixture will see Katsina United host Rivers United, with both sides targeting victory as they continue their respective league campaigns.

All four matches are scheduled for 4pm on Wednesday, 30 September 2026.
