With just four rounds remaining in the 2024/25 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership regular season, the race for Super Six playoff spots and topflight survival intensifies on Wednesday, April 9, 2025.
Three teams remain unbeaten heading into a pivotal Matchday 11, a reverse of Matchday 3 fixtures, as key battles across both groups are set to reshape the standings.
Group A
Remo Stars Ladies vs Edo Queens – Ikenne Showdown for Group Supremacy
Remo Stars Ladies and Edo Queens square off in a high-stakes top-of-the-table clash with Super Six implications. This will be their fourth meeting in the topflight, with both sides eyeing a firm grip on playoff qualification.
Remo Stars, second on the log, lost their unbeaten streak to Nasarawa Amazons but boast a perfect home record (5/5) this season.
Edo Queens remain the only unbeaten side in Group A with 26 points and are eager to extend their slender one-point lead. Their last meeting ended 1-1 in Benin, following home wins by each side last season.
Dannaz Ladies vs Ekiti Queens – Winless Sides Desperate to Bounce Back
Both sides head into this tie in dire need of a turnaround. Dannaz Ladies are winless in their last eight (D3, L5), while Ekiti Queens have suffered five straight defeats.
The Lagos-based Dannaz have just one home win this term, while the Queens from Ekiti have lost all five of their away fixtures.
Ekiti claimed a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture in Ado Ekiti and hope for a season double.
Nasarawa Amazons vs Confluence Queens – North Central Derby with Contrasting Targets
A fierce regional derby pits playoff-chasing Nasarawa Amazons against relegation-threatened Confluence Queens in Lafia.
Nasarawa have won all five home games this season and sit third in Group A.
Confluence, in contrast, continue their survival push with only one win in five away fixtures.
Nasarawa edged the reverse fixture 1-0 via Shobowale Olushola’s goal and lead the head-to-head with four wins in nine meetings.
Abia Angels vs Heartland Queens – Playoff Hope vs Relegation Fight
Abia Angels look to tighten their grip on a playoff spot as they welcome struggling Heartland Queens.
The Umuahia-based side have won four of five at home, with their only loss coming against leaders Edo Queens.
Heartland Queens, yet to earn a point on the road, are desperate to avoid a sixth straight away defeat.
Interestingly, they completed a double over Abia Angels last season.
Group B
FC Robo Queens vs Rivers Angels – Form Revival Meets Unbeaten Force
In Lagos, FC Robo Queens welcome high-flying Rivers Angels in a battle of contrasting momentum.
FC Robo are rejuvenated with back-to-back wins after three straight losses. At home, they’ve picked up 10 points from a possible 15.
Rivers Angels remain unbeaten in 10 games (W8, D2), with four away wins and a draw.
The Port Harcourt side lead the head-to-head with four wins in seven, including a 4-2 triumph in their last clash.
Bayelsa Queens vs Benue Queens – Second Meeting of Season Offers Redemption Shot
Benue Queens, still searching for their first league win, take on Bayelsa Queens after managing to halt their losing streak with a draw against Delta Queens.
Bayelsa, meanwhile, have impressed on the road with three wins and two draws.
The Prosperity Girls routed Benue Queens 5-1 in the reverse fixture and will look to complete the double.
Ibom Angels vs Naija Ratels – Mid-table Clash with Playoff Implications
In Uyo, Ibom Angels face Naija Ratels in a crucial contest.
Ratels, seeking a second Super Six appearance after their 2021/22 debut, have four wins, four draws, and two losses so far—sharing the league’s highest draw rate.
Ibom Angels have picked up three wins and a draw at home but lost their fortress status in Matchday 9 after a 1-0 defeat to Rivers Angels.
