The title race in the 2024 NWFL Premiership Super Six Playoffs is set for a dramatic twist as Remo Stars Ladies face Nasarawa Amazons in a high-stakes encounter on Matchday Four in Ikenne on Thursday.
With just a point separating the two sides in the standings, this match could prove pivotal for their respective title aspirations.
Nasarawa Amazons have been impressive in the playoffs, remaining unbeaten with two wins and a draw — the latter coming in a 10-player contest against Bayelsa Queens.
On the other hand, Remo Stars Ladies started their Super Six campaign with two narrow 1-0 victories over defending champions Edo Queens and Naija Ratels.
However, their momentum was halted with a 2-0 loss to Bayelsa Queens, which ended their perfect start to the competition.
Historically, Remo Stars Ladies have the edge in recent encounters against the Lafia-based side, winning two of the last three meetings.
However, Nasarawa Amazons stunned them with a 1-0 victory earlier this season, with Janet Akekeromowei scoring a last-minute penalty in Lafia to hand them the three points.
