As former President Federation Cup finalists, Niger Tornadoes travel to Kaduna to play their last away game against Kano Pillars for the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 38, the Ikon Allah Boys must avoid an undesirable result.
The Ikon Allah Boys have managed to save themselves from relegation by the skin of their teeth.
They are 14th on 48 points, and from the other games lined up this weekend, they are assured of another season in the NPFL.
Kano Pillars are also safe in 7th place and will be looking to finish the season strong. They beat Tornadoes in the reverse fixture and will aim to do the double.
Tornadoes must approach this with urgency, but it won’t be easy against a solid Pillars side.
The Sai Masu Gida coach, Usman Abdallah, is ready to claim bragging rights over their northern club rival, especially since the fixture will be played in a location closer to Kano than Minna, where their opponents, Niger Tornadoes, are based.
Head to head
Niger Tornadoes have won 6 direct matches. Kano Pillars have won 6 matches. 8 matches have ended in a draw.
