The 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 12 clash between Warri Wolves FC and Ikorodu City FC at Ozoro Stadium promises to be one of the weekend’s most compelling fixtures.
With only a single-goal difference separating the two sides on the table, Warri Wolves face a tough test against Ikorodu City, arguably the league’s most formidable away team this season. The Oga Boys have recorded four wins, four draws, and a single loss, while the Seasiders have accumulated five wins, three draws, and three defeats.
Ahead of the game, Warri Wolves Technical Adviser, Ozebagbe, revealed his team’s key strategy for survival this season. “Our primary goal is to play each match without conceding goals,” he explained, adding that attention to attack is also crucial. “So far, the boys have tried to execute that plan, but we also have to work on our forwards hitting the target. It’s a department we must improve, especially as this team is still in transition.”
The soft-spoken tactician emphasized the importance of patience and consistency. “It’s going to come with time. We know we have to keep working hard, especially in defense, so we don’t open up and allow goals. We are confident we will score, but we want to ensure we don’t concede. That is our target this season, and we hope it will deliver results.”
As the fixture approaches, fans can expect a tactical battle between Wolves’ disciplined defense and Ikorodu City’s high-flying attack, making this NPFL encounter one to watch closely.
