Sunshine, Crown Tango In Ilaro

Second-placed Sunshine Stars are away at another struggling club Crown FC in Ilaro this weekend in the Premier League.

Crown are third from bottom with 14 points and will be under pressure to turn back star-studded Sunshine Stars to pull out from the drop zone.

Another relegation-threatened team, Zamfara United received probably their biggest boost of the season after the NPL approved they could resume playing their home games at their fortress of the Sani Sardauna Memorial Stadium in Gusau from the second round of the season.

Over the years, Zamfara have owed their continued stay in the top flight to their invincibility at this arena, but playing their home matches at Kano Pillars Stadium this season has taken a lot away from them.

The Gusau club are away at Kwara United this weekend and on Wednesday they hosted Sunshine Stars at the Kano Pillars Stadium in a rescheduled Week 18 match, which was re-arranged after Zamfara were attacked by armed robbers on their way to the venue of the match.

In other matches tomorrow, Tornadoes tackle Enyimba, Sharks welcome Enugu Rangers and Gombe clash with Plateau United. On Sunday, Warri Wolves square up against 3SC, Kaduna United battle Bukola Babes, Heartland play Ocean Boys in Owerri and Lobi Stars will have Kano Pillars as guests.
