Remo Stars, Bayelsa United Set for Crucial NPFL Survival Battle in Ikenne

Posted : 09 May 2026

Defending champions Remo Stars are preparing for a season-defining encounter against Bayelsa United as the Nigeria Premier Football League campaign approaches its dramatic conclusion. The Matchday 37 fixture at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne carries enormous significance for both clubs, with relegation fears threatening to overshadow the closing stages of the season.

After lifting the league title last season, Remo Stars have endured a disappointing campaign and now find themselves battling to remain in the top flight. The Sky Blue Stars currently sit 18th in the standings with 43 points, only three ahead of 19th-placed Bayelsa United. With just two matches left to play, victory has become essential for both sides in their fight for survival.

The pressure surrounding the fixture continues to build as defeat could severely damage either team’s hopes of avoiding the drop. Supporters are expected to create an intense atmosphere in Ikenne as both clubs chase a result that could shape their future in the NPFL.

Ahead of the crucial clash, Remo Stars Technical Adviser Usman Abd’Allah expressed confidence in his squad’s mentality and preparation. The experienced coach insisted his players are fully focused on securing maximum points despite the tension surrounding the relegation battle.

According to Abd’Allah, the team remains motivated and determined to approach the game with confidence rather than fear. He also praised the cooperation between the coaching staff, club management, and players, describing it as a key factor behind the team’s recent improvement in performances.

Since taking charge in February during a difficult spell for the club, Abd’Allah has helped restore belief within the squad. The former Kano Pillars coach emphasized that Remo Stars remain committed to fighting until the final day of the season in their bid to preserve their NPFL status.

Bayelsa United also head into the contest knowing that avoiding defeat is critical to their own survival ambitions. With both clubs desperate for points, Saturday’s showdown promises to be one of the most important fixtures of the NPFL weekend.
