The NWFL resumes for matchday Eight after mid-season break
Heartland Queens are targeted to pick up maximum points when they travel to Osogbo Township Stadium in Osogbo, Osun State, for a clash against the Osun Babes.
The Owerri side will be the guests of the Osun Babes in Wednesday’s matchday eight for the start of the second stanza.
Heartland Queens will leverage on first Stanza
The Owerri Landladies defeated the Omoluabi Babes 2-0 in the first leg game, the last game of the first stanza of the season.
Two individual brilliances in the first half of the crunch encounter off the foot of the side’s talisman, Lucky Mary and Chizoba Orji proved adequate to hand the Owerri outfit their only back-to-back victories in the first term.
Heartland Queens strengthen Squad
Heartland Queens are not making many changes from the lineup that conquered the opposite, Osun Babes, in Owerri.
The Owerri-based side added new additions from the midterm shop list, including Onyinyechi Kalu, and Alexander Maduerosi, among others that may feel the heat. The regulars and hard-as-nail strongwomen, Kelechi Orgii, Victoria Bassey, Sharon Onwere, Ekezie Onyedikachi, and former Nigerian junior international midfield wizard, Oluchi Ofoegbu, are most likely to keep their respective shirts.
The Orjis – Chinwendu and Chizoba are sure starters and shirt keepers, including a clean sheet chaser and unarguably the best goalie in the league, Uchechi Onyechere.
Heartland Queens are fourth on the seven-man Group A log, eight points adrift of the leader, Delta Queens.
