Umu Chineke Seeks Maximum Points

Posted : 25 January 2026

After a hard-fought victory against Kano Pillars on the road, Abia Warriors FC of Umuahia now turn their attention to Matchday 22 of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), where they will host fourth-placed Nasarawa United FC at the Umuahia Township Stadium.

Buoyed by their recent away win—the fifth of the season—the Warriors are eager to maintain momentum and approach the fixture with full intensity against a challenging opponent.

Having dropped two points in their previous home game and eight points overall from home fixtures, Umu Chineke will need to be precise and leave no room for error against the Solid Miners of Lafia in what promises to be a compelling encounter.

In the reverse fixture at the Lafia City Stadium, Nasarawa United emerged 1–0 winners, a result that ensures they will not take this clash lightly as they aim to secure a top-three finish.

The matchup reflects the competitive and unpredictable nature of the NPFL in recent seasons, where teams must consistently raise their standards or risk being overtaken. For the Warriors, securing maximum points is essential to keep their Continental ambitions alive, making Sunday’s clash a fixture they will approach with serious intent.

Statistically, the Umuahia Warlords have averaged 0.86 goals scored per game and 0.57 goals conceded, while the Solid Miners have averaged 0.9 goals scored and 0.7 goals conceded per match.

After 21 games played, Abia Warriors occupy second place on the league table with 37 points, while Nasarawa United sit fourth with 35 points, setting the stage for a high-stakes encounter.
