It's the second chance for points this season as Akwa Starlets and Kano Pillars battle it out at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
