2025/2026 NPFL Match Day 34: Survival Battle Intensifies as Bayelsa United Host Injury-Hit Wikki Tourists

Posted : 11 April 2026

A high-stakes relegation clash takes centre stage this weekend as Bayelsa United FC welcome a severely weakened Wikki Tourists FC to the Samson Siasia Stadium for their Match Day 34 encounter in the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

With both sides locked in the fight for survival, the fixture carries massive implications at the lower end of the table.

Bayelsa United head into the tie sitting 16th on the log with 40 points—just above the relegation zone and level on points with 17th-placed Remo Stars FC, only separated by goal difference.

For the “Prosperity Boys,” this home fixture presents a golden opportunity to create breathing space and ease mounting pressure as the season edges toward its climax.

In contrast, Wikki Tourists arrive in Yenagoa under difficult circumstances. The Bauchi-based side are grappling with a major injury and suspension crisis that has stripped them of key personnel at a critical moment in the campaign.

The absence list is a worrying one, with Nasiru Jibrin ruled out due to a knee injury, while Klingshak Longbak remains sidelined with illness.

First-choice goalkeeper Utum Godswill will miss out following his red card in the 2-2 draw against Enyimba International FC, further compounding their defensive concerns.

Additionally, Haruna Aliyu, Usman Abdullahi, and Ibrahim Shuaibu are all unavailable due to various fitness issues.

For Wikki Tourists, avoiding defeat could prove vital in keeping their survival hopes alive, but their depleted squad raises serious questions about their ability to cope with the pressure of such a decisive fixture.

As tensions rise and the margin for error shrinks, Sunday’s showdown promises to be a fiercely contested battle, with both sides fully aware that the outcome could significantly shape their NPFL fate.
