Kwara United on Sunday will be targeting the maximum three points when they welcome Heartland of Owerri to Ilorin in one of the Nigeria Professional Football League MatchDay 15 scheduled for various centres across the country. The Afonja Warriors have surprised everyone after their performance this new campaign leading the table with 26 points from 14 matches played.

Heartland on the other hand started the campaign slowly but the Fidelis Ilechukwu-led team now taking shape with 18 points already in 14 games and currently sit in 11th position. Lagos will witness some great match this weekend as Enyimba take on MFM at the Agege Township Stadium.

Adamawa United will face one of their biggest hurdle this weekend as they travel to Enugu for a game against Rangers International. Currently bottom of the table, United in recent games have been recording good results and another good outing in Enugu will help their quest to move away from the relegation zone.
