Abia Warriors and Kano Pillars match-goers have their most valued supporter kits on for this first game week of a new Npfl season. Let's go!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kano Pillars have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-0-11 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.

It's quite the trip for Kano Pillars when visiting Abia Warriors as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

It's no vacation for neither Abia Warriors nor Kano Pillars as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
