Enyimba Must Win to Avoid Relegation Trouble

Enyimba will face Ikorodu City in Aba on Sunday. They need a win to get out of the Nigeria Premier Football League relegation zone. The visitors are still looking for their first away win.

Kick-off at the Enyimba International Stadium is set for 4pm.

Enyimba, who have won the league nine times, sit at 18th place with 11 points from 12 matches. Their record shows three wins, two draws, and seven losses. They are just one point behind Ranchers Bees and Kwara United, who both have 12 points.

Last weekend, Enyimba lost 1-0 to Ranchers Bees in Minna. Their goal difference is currently minus four. The club is trying to rally its fans ahead of this important match.

Enyimba's home form gives them hope. All three of their wins this season have come in Aba. They have also managed one draw and suffered two losses at home.

Ikorodu City is in 13th place with 15 points, four points ahead of Enyimba. They have three wins, six draws, and three losses from 12 matches. Their goal difference is plus two.

In their last game, Ikorodu drew 2-2 with Inter Lagos at Onikan last Monday. They have drawn six matches this season, with three draws and three losses in their six away games.

The last time these two teams played in Aba, Ikorodu won. Joseph Arumala scored the only goal at the Enyimba International Stadium in February.

If they draw, Ikorodu will remain four points ahead of Enyimba. The home team needs all three points to avoid being stuck near the bottom as the season reaches its halfway mark.
