Though there are just two Matchdays left to the end of the season, no team is guaranteed the NPFL championship playoffs ticket with MatchDay 17 star match being the Group A tie between Plateau United and Remo Stars in Jos; while the South South derby between Rivers United and Bayelsa United in Port Harcourt headlines the fixtures in Group B.

In other Group A games, Kwara United tackles Nasarawa United in Akure knowing a win for them at home will confirm their topflight status for another season while the Solid Miners would bid the NPFL bye if they fail to get a positive result.

Akwa United will hope to return to winning ways with a home duel against already demoted El Kanemi Warriors in Uyo while Enyimba will go in the hunt for a home win against Gombe United.

A win will keep the peoples Elephants in second spot but another home draw could see them relying on other results on the final day to secure the Super Six ticket.

Meanwhile, Bendel Insurance will stake their unbeaten record against Shooting Stars who have little at stake than to end the season with a bang.

Insurance will, however, qualify for the Championship playoffs if they beat the Oluyole Warriors at the dreaded Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.

In Group B, Rivers United will confirm their Super Six spot with a home game against Bayelsa United .

The Pride of Rivers have slid to the fourth spot with 23 points but can stay a claim with three games at hand.

At the Pantami Stadium, Doma United will pray to continue their dream season against Rangers International.

The newly promoted side is second with 25 points and another win in Gombe will just take them closer to the Super Six.

Wikki Tourists will host Abia Warriors at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi ; Dakkada FC will be at home against Lobi Stars while Niger Tornadoes face off against Sunshine Stars in Kaduna.

Plateau United delivered one of their most impressive performances of the season, thrashing high-flying Ikorodu City 4–1 in a dominant NPFL encounter to strengthen their position on the table.

The Peace Boys showed intent from the start and maintained control throughout the game, with second-half substitute Ossy Martins emerging as the standout performer after grabbing a brace to seal the emphatic victory.

The result marks a significant boost for Plateau United, who have struggled for consistency this season. Defeating a top-performing side like Ikorodu City not only restores confidence within the squad but also signals their determination to finish the campaign strongly.

Beyond the scoreline, the win could prove pivotal in their push away from the lower half of the table, easing pressure on the team while reigniting belief among supporters.

Attention now shifts to their next fixture, where Plateau United will be aiming to build on this momentum and secure another positive result as the league season approaches its final stages.
