Kwara United Football Club will on Sunday play host to Rivers United of Port-Harcourt at the State Stadium complex in the week 20th abridge league fixture, as soccer enthusiasts in the state are not expecting anything less down the three points.
The club presently is undergoing some sorts of physchological trauma arising from the facts that they are closely beneath relegation zone and would want to keep their head above water.
Two, the abrupt departure of the club’s Head Coach Bala Abubakar shortly after playing out a barren draw with Lobi Stars of Markudi last Sunday will also go a long way to dictates the outputs of the match.
With the last draw, Kwara United FC is currently in the 10th position on the 12-team table in Group A of the 2019 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), with 20 points from 17 matches, and minus five goals difference.
The team has two more home matches to play in the series, and three away games, and with what is on ground, some people have already written off the chances of the team retaining its NPFL status.
Kwara United FC was unable to get six points from the two matches against MFM FC and the rescheduled encounter with Rangers at home, and also drew the double home games against Bendel Insurance and Lobi Stars.
Kwara United in the recent time have had a protracted goal drought since the absence of the Club’s goal gutter Segun Alebiosu had an accident.
However, it seems there is likehood that the team can still rejuvenate it’s dwindling performance as the proverbial statement in the soccer industry states: ‘anything can happen in football.’
River United coach Stanley Eguma is expecting a big surprise package from his players when they face Kwara United FC in the Nigerian Professional Football League tie at Kwara State Stadium on Sunday.
The Pride of Rivers clawed their way back to fifth place on the NPFL Group A on Thursday after they dismantled Enugu Rangers 3-0 at Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt.
