After the setback in Minna against Niger Tornadoes FC and three winless matches, Enyimba FC has announced that it has quickly dusted itself off and shifted focus to another crucial away test as they face second-placed Nasarawa United in the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 23 showdown at the Lafia City Stadium.
The People’s Elephant have also announced a new coach, Deutsch Detchoua Gustave Emmanuel from Cameroon.
The nine-time league champions will be seeking redemption and resurgence against the Solid Miners in a match that promises intensity, grit, and high stakes.
Despite the 2-0 loss to Niger Tornadoes last time out, the Enyimba camp still targets a positive outcome from their demanding double away fixtures.
Head Coach Deji Ayeni’s side is boosted by the return of Afolayan Peters from suspension, adding depth and balance to the squad.
However, Enyimba will still be without Bassey John, who continues to serve a suspension, while Mojeed Adekunle looks doubtful for the Lafia encounter due to a knock.
History slightly favors the Aba giants. In 23 previous meetings between both sides, Enyimba FC has recorded 13 victories, while Nasarawa United has won 9, with 4 encounters ending in stalemate.
That pedigree, coupled with Enyimba’s championship mentality, fuels confidence heading into Wednesday’s clash.
Currently facing one of their toughest stretches of the season, the nine-time league champions are determined to show character, resilience, and ambition on the road.
With pride, points, and momentum at stake, Enyimba FC is poised to go all out in Lafia, firmly believing that a positive result is within reach.
As the whistle beckons, one message rings loud from the Enyimba camp: the belief is still alive.
