Heartland Queens will aim to bounce back when they host defending champions Edo Queens in a crucial NWFL Premiership matchday 2 fixture on Wednesday, January 22, at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.
The Owerri-based side is determined to secure their first points of the season after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Ekiti Queens in Ado Ekiti, where Olaleye Odunayo's 74th-minute goal proved decisive. Meanwhile, Edo Queens displayed their dominance with a resounding 5-0 victory over Abia Angels in Benin City, solidifying their reputation as Nigeria's champions and Africa's fourth-best women's club.
Heartland Queens' head coach, Obi Ogbala, is expected to make minimal changes to the lineup from their last outing, focusing on securing a positive result against a formidable Edo Queens side.
With two consecutive home games ahead, the Owerri side is eager to capitalize on the home advantage. After Wednesday's clash, they will face an oriental derby against Abia Angels, setting the stage for an exciting run of fixtures.
Fans are anticipating a spirited performance as Heartland Queens look to turn their season around against a high-flying Edo Queens team.
