Kwara United are set for a tough test on Sunday as they take on El-Kanemi Warriors in a Matchday Thirteen fixture of the Nigeria Premier Football League in Maiduguri. The Harmony Boys travel with confidence as they aim to extend their impressive unbeaten run.
Coach Ashifat Suleiman’s side have shown strong consistency this season, combining dominant home wins with hard-earned away draws, including a spirited outing against Nasarawa United. The team believes their resilient mindset will be crucial in Borno.
The squad arrived in Maiduguri on Friday to settle in ahead of the 3pm kickoff and will train on Saturday at the Maiduguri Sports Complex to get familiar with the pitch conditions.
There are no expected changes to the squad that featured in Lafia, as the technical crew opts for continuity in the back-to-back away games. Injured duo Adeshina Gata and Akanni Akeem remain unavailable, but the rest of the group are focused on delivering another strong performance.
Last season, Kwara United came close to doing the double over El-Kanemi, earning a 1–1 draw away before sealing victory in Ilorin.
Kwara United sit ninth on the table with 17 points from 12 matches, while El-Kanemi occupy fourteenth with 15 points. The match will pit two experienced tacticians, Ashifat Suleiman and Kabir Dogo, against each other, with the outcome to be decided on the pitch.
Coach Ashifat’s creative, possession-driven style continues to shape the team’s identity, and the players have fully bought into the system. With spirits high in camp, the Harmony Boys believe Sunday offers another opportunity to climb higher in the league.
