2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 20 Preview: Abia Warriors Aim to Resume on Winning Note

Posted : 13 January 2026

Abia Warriors fans will get another opportunity to watch their team as the Warriors return to action in the second stanza of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after a short break. Midweek fixtures across the country promise exciting football as the league resumes.

At the Umuahia Township Stadium, Umu Chineke will aim to start the new year on a winning note, maintaining momentum and keeping their quest for a continental ticket on track after a strong finish last season. The Warriors will host Plateau United, the team they previously defeated in Jos, in a reverse fixture and will be targeting a double over the Peace Boys.

Expectations from fans have soared as Abia Warriors seek to win four consecutive league matches for the first time in the club’s Premier League history. The stakes are high, and the team faces significant pressure to continue their impressive run.

Plateau United will arrive in Umuahia with revenge on their minds, and their players will fight to impress new coach Gbenga Ogunbote, who is tasked with turning the fortunes of the Jos-based side around. Meanwhile, Abia Warriors, coached by former league winner Imama Amapakabo, cannot afford to drop points at home. They will aim to dominate the match and secure maximum points.

Confidence runs high in the Warriors camp. The players are calm and fully aware of the intensity of the task ahead. Abia Warriors have averaged 0.84 goals scored per game and 0.58 goals conceded, while Plateau United have averaged 0.79 goals scored and 1.26 conceded.

After 19 games, Abia Warriors sit second on the NPFL table with 33 points, while Plateau United occupy 19th place with 19 points.
