Mis-firing Heartland Int'l FC welcomes powered Plateau United to Akwa

Posted : 27 February 2024

Misfiring Heartland International FC will welcome powered Plateau United FC to their adopted home in Awka for the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 22.

For the far-bottom-placed Heartland International FC, they should be licking the wounds of reverting back to the old order of reinstating Obi, who was asked to go after poor results. However, the state government, in its wisdom, decided to reinstate Obi and asked his replacement, Kennedy Boboye, an experienced hand in the league who has started on a bright note, to go.

Since Obi was reincarnated into the team, things have turned from bad to worse for the team as they now gasp for a win.

For Plateau United, there is not much trouble as they have been fired up since the start of the second stanza of the league, winning their crucial encounters, especially with a delightful win over the league leaders, Lobi Stars of Markurdi in Jos.

With Albert Hilary, Plateau United fears no foe and will be ready to do further damage against the 20th-placed Naze Millionaires, who might find their way back to the second tier of the Nigerian League once again if things fail to improve.

However, in the current season, Heartland FC have not conceded in each of their last 4 Premier League home games against Plateau United and have scored in 4 of the last 5 Premier League games against Plateau United.

On the defensive end, Heartland FC has been poor and has allowed 23 goals over the season, with the most vulnerable period being the 2nd half, where most of the goals were conceded.

On the other end, Plateau United FC has played 21 matches, achieving 11 wins, 8 losses, 2 draws, and sits in 5th position.

Head to head:

Heartland FC and Plateau United played 13 games among which there were 4 wins for Heartland and 6 ties.
