Following the completion of the 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, the second stanza of the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League set to resume this weekend.
The league was put on hold as the Super Eagles were one of the contenders in tournament in Cote D’Ivoire.
One of the biggest matches of the weekend will be the clash between Rivers United and Doma United slated to be held on Sunday at the Adokiye Amasiamaka Stadium in Port-Harcourt.
The Pride of Rivers will aim to return to winning ways after suffering back-to-back defeats to Shooting Stars and Sporting Lagos in the rescheduled game.
In Aba, Champions Enyimba International will target another win against Shooting Stars when both sides clash on Saturday.

The Sky Blue Boys has been one of the most consistent team this season’s and the role played by the league’s top scorer Sikiru Alimi has been significant.
