NPFL Match Day 27 Preview: Abia Warriors vs Kwara United

Posted : 22 February 2026

A wounded Kwara United FC is now ready for a big showdown against Abia Warriors FC in the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 27 encounter at the Enyimba International Stadium on Sunday.

The Harmony Boys have been left frustrated after dropping vital points at home, surrendering early leads in back-to-back fixtures against Kano Pillars and Rivers United. Those unexpected results have deepened their relegation worries, leaving the Ilorin-based side battling to escape the red zone.

Sunday’s clash presents a classic top-versus-bottom contest. Abia Warriors will be aiming to consolidate their push for a continental ticket, while Kwara United are desperate to secure valuable points in their fight for survival.

Historically, both sides have met five times in recent seasons, with Abia Warriors holding a slight edge. The Warriors secured a 1–0 victory in Ilorin in the first stanza of the league, and this reverse fixture offers Kwara United an opportunity to re-strategise and avenge that defeat.

Coach Ashifat Suleiman will have to navigate the tie without prolific forward Bright Babatunde, who is recuperating from the injury sustained in Jos. Alao Mohammed also remains sidelined, while Mustapha Salisu returns after serving his mandatory one-match suspension following a red card.

Despite the setbacks, Coach Suleiman remains optimistic, insisting that his side will continue to fight until they get it right as the survival battle intensifies.
