Plateau United presents a challenge. They have not lost in their last five matches and sit in fourth place with 11 points. Their only loss this season was against Rivers United in the opening match.
Coach Gbenga Ogunbote’s team has three wins and two draws in those five matches. One of the draws was a dramatic 2-2 fightback against Doma United after falling behind by two goals.
They followed that with a 2-0 win over Inter Lagos at the New Jos Stadium. Gideon Monday and Jibril Ibrahim scored to help Plateau United climb into the top four.
The visitors will come to Aba full of confidence. But Enyimba’s four goals against Shooting Stars have given them a much-needed boost in attack.

With Enyimba looking for back-to-back wins and Plateau United wanting to keep their unbeaten streak, this match is set to be exciting. Both teams have a lot to play for as they meet in this important clash.
