2025/2026 NPFL Match Day 21: Enyimba Seek Home Redemption Against Barau FC

Posted : 17 January 2026

Enyimba FC will return to familiar surroundings on Sunday as they host Barau FC in a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 21 fixture at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, with kickoff scheduled for 4 p.m.

Recovering from Wednesday’s disappointing defeat to Shooting Stars Sports Club in Ibadan, the People’s Elephant are now focused on their next task, determined to bounce back and reignite their campaign in the second stanza of the season.

After the team’s final training session on Saturday, Enyimba midfielder Salmanu Abubakar expressed confidence in the squad’s readiness and determination to secure all three points.

“We are back in Aba after the unfortunate result in Ibadan, and we have put that painful outing behind us,” Salmanu told Enyimba Media. “Our focus is entirely on the next league game against Barau FC, and we are ready. We know it won’t be easy, as they won their last match and are fighting to avoid relegation, but we are very hungry for the maximum points.”

Sunday’s fixture marks the second meeting between the sides in the top flight this season, following a goalless draw in the reverse fixture in Kano. With home advantage and the backing of their passionate supporters, Enyimba will be keen to ensure a different outcome this time around.

Salmanu also acknowledged the disappointment of the Ibadan loss but emphasized the team’s resolve to make amends in front of their Aba supporters. “The Ibadan game was a bitter pill to swallow, and we are aiming to reward our loyal fans with a strong performance,” he said. “We urge the fans not to lose hope. The second stanza has just begun, and we are fully motivated to secure the three points.”

As the league enters a critical phase, Enyimba understand that consistency at home will be crucial to their ambitions. Sunday’s clash against a Barau FC side fighting to climb away from the relegation zone offers the Aba giants a chance to respond with authority and reaffirm their NPFL credentials.
