Niger Tornadoes (17th)

The Ikon Allah Boys are in danger of being relegated after a defeat against Lobi Stars in a midweek rescheduled match. After some exchange of almost thirteen passes, the visitor scored one of the most satisfying goals this season as they ended the home team’s eight matches unbeaten runs.

Niger Tornadoes dropped to the relegation zone, however, a win here would go a long way in their quest of staying up in the division.

Niger Tornadoes have won twelve, lost twice and drawn three in the last seventeen home matches.

Ahmadu Liman and Jacob John are suspended for this game due to accumulated cards, while Musa Wakili returns after missing the mid week rescheduled game to a similar offence. Junior International Abubakar Babaji has rejoined the team and is ready for selection in tomorrow's

game.

Kwara United (5th)
