2025/2026 NWFL Match Day 15: Edo Queens grabs Super Six ticket

Posted : 17 April 2026

Edo Queens Football Club of Benin yesterday evening at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, continued their impressive run with an emphatic 2-0 win over Naija Ratels FC of Abuja in match day 15 of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership.

Edo Queens went ahead in the 29th minute after some poor defending by Naija Ratels, and sensational midfielder Inyang Esther wasted no time to hit the ball home, making her first goal of the season.

Doosuur Atume made it 2-0 in the 84th minute after getting on a good pass from her teammate.

The Moses Aduku-led side has been brilliant this season and has produced yet another great performance in this encounter.

Despite losing six regular players to the U-20 national team, the girls have shown that they are prepared for the Super Six.

Edo Queens were seen by fans as a superior side because of their quality, stature, and dominance in previous meetings. In fact, Edo Queens had won all the matches played at their home ground since the start of the season. They have also won a good number of games away.

However, Naija Ratels ladies showed some elements of good football, but the red-hot ladies were just too good and experienced to give room to opponents to score any goal.

Despite the heavy rain, both teams gave a good account of themselves. Edo Queens lost so many chances, but the most important thing is the three points and the Super Six ticket that has been secured.

With this victory, Edo Queens now have 31 points from 14 games.

They will be away to Ibadan in Oyo State next to lock horns with Pacesetters FC, which will be their last away game for the season.

While the two home matches will be against Ibom Angels and Rivers Angels, bringing the regular league season to an end.

This victory solidifies Edo Queens' position as a dominant force in the NWFL this season. By securing the Super Six ticket with games to spare, the team demonstrates remarkable depth despite international call-ups. Fans now look forward to the final regular-season fixtures as the club prepares for the ultimate championship challenge.

Betting Predictions

Pacesetters FC vs Edo Queens:

Edo Queens to Win is a high-probability selection. Despite being away in Ibadan, the "Aduku Girls" are in red-hot form, having just secured their Super Six ticket. Their superior quality and depth, even with key players away on international duty, make them heavy favorites against Pacesetters.
Under 2.5 Goals is a sensible option for this fixture. While Edo Queens are dominant, away games in the NWFL can be tactically cagey, and the heavy rain mentioned in recent matches could lead to a more controlled, low-scoring affair.

Edo Queens vs Ibom Angels:

Edo Queens to Win & Clean Sheet is an appealing bet. Edo Queens have won every single home match at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium this season. Their defensive organization was on full display in their 2-0 win over Naija Ratels, and they are unlikely to give the Ibom Angels much room to breathe.
Edo Queens to Score in Both Halves carries value. The team has shown a tendency to strike early (29th minute) and late (84th minute), demonstrating consistent pressure that wears down opponents over 90 minutes.

Edo Queens vs Rivers Angels:

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is a strong choice for this heavyweight clash. As the regular season draws to a close, this matchup against Rivers Angels will be a true test of strength. Both sides possess high-level attacking talent, making a goal for each side a likely outcome.
Double Chance: Edo Queens or Draw is a safe play. Edo Queens' undefeated home record is a massive psychological advantage. Even against a top-tier opponent like Rivers Angels, their "fortress" in Benin City makes a home loss hard to imagine.

Edo Queens have solidified their position as the team to beat this season, combining clinical finishing from players like Inyang Esther and Doosuur Atume with a rock-solid defense. Their momentum heading into the Super Six makes them a reliable focus for goal-based and result-based markets. Check here for betting odds.
