Nasarawa United aim for another win against Enyimba

Nasarawa United will host former African champions Enyimba in Lafia on Sunday. They are looking for their second straight win in the league. Meanwhile, Enyimba is struggling at the wrong end of the table.

The Solid Miners finally won their first game of the season last weekend. They beat Inter Lagos 2-0 and are eager to build on that success. They come into this match with strong defensive confidence and hope to grab all three points.

Enyimba, a nine-time champion, finds themselves in a tough spot. The People’s Elephant are currently 19th after a disappointing 0-0 draw with Warri Wolves. In that match, they had a hard time creating chances. This followed a heavy 4-2 loss to Katsina United, and they have not been consistent this season.

Nasarawa knows they have to work for the win. History is on Enyimba's side, as they have won seven of their past meetings with Nasarawa, while Nasarawa has won five. Four matches ended in draws. But Enyimba has had trouble getting victories in Lafia lately, which gives the hosts some hope.

For Enyimba, winning away could help them move up from the bottom of the table. It would be a big boost for them. For Nasarawa, a win would show that their first victory was not just a fluke, but the start of a turnaround.
