NPFL Matchday 26: Survival on the Line as Plateau United Face Bayelsa United
It’s all to play for at the New Jos Stadium as Plateau United and Bayelsa United lock horns in a high-stakes NPFL relegation battle on matchday 26. Both teams are desperate for points, and with the season entering its decisive phase, neither can afford to slip up.
Bayelsa United, currently 15th with a goal difference of -2, have struggled for consistency, winning just once in their last five outings. Plateau United, formerly known as JIB Strikers FC, find themselves one place lower, also with just a single victory in their last five matches.
The Prosperity Boys will take confidence from Plateau United’s defensive frailties, as the hosts have conceded in every game this year—except for their recent clean sheet against El Kanemi Warriors. With tension high and survival at stake, expect a fiercely contested clash in Jos.
