Finidi George's Unbeaten Run at Stake
In Lagos, former Super Eagles coach Finidi and his Rivers United face a critical test against newbies Ikorodu City.
George's team has been impressive this season, despite escaping defeat last weekend, boasting an unbeaten record of six wins and three draws from nine matches.
The Pride of Rivers will be looking to continue their remarkable run against the Oga Boys, who are coming off a defeat to Enyimba in Aba.
Ikorodu have won each of their last two matches at their adopted home, the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onika, scoring seven goals, four against Amokachi's Lobi Stars.
Super Eagles Assistants Seek Redemption
The weekend also focuses on Super Eagles assistants battling for much-needed victories in the league.
Fidelis Ilechukwu's Rangers, who are the defending champions, are currently winless in their last four matches, will host Nasarawa United in Enugu.
Similarly, Daniel Ogunmodede's Remo Stars, who recently lost to Emmanuel Amuneke's Heartland, will welcome Daniel Amokachi's Lobi Stars, who finally won their first game under the former Everton forward, to Ikenne.
These matches represent more than just routine league fixtures; they are crucial opportunities for these coaches to prove their mettle and potentially turn their seasons around.
With national team connections and past glories adding extra layers of intrigue, football fans are in for an exciting weekend of NPFL action.
