Abia Warriors coach Imama Amapakabo is confident that his team can maintain its upward momentum with a win against Shooting Stars in the upcoming Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match. The Umuahia‑based side has been unbeaten since exiting the CAF Confederation Cup and will travel to the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan on Sunday.
After a 2‑0 victory over El‑Kanemi Warriors last weekend, Abia Warriors moved into second place in the league table. Amapakabo highlighted his optimism about improving on last season’s performance, noting that the team’s success will be measured by securing a continental spot by the end of the season. “We can only be considered a failure if we fail to achieve our goals by the end of the league in May,” he said.
The Warriors’ recent form has been impressive, and they aim to build on this momentum against Shooting Stars. With their sights set on a top finish in the NPFL, the match will be a crucial test; a win would solidify their position in the table. The league has been highly competitive this season, with several clubs vying for the top spots. Abia Warriors’ ability to maintain their current form and overcome tough opponents like Shooting Stars will be key to their success.
As the season progresses, pressure will increase, but coach Amapakabo remains confident in his squad’s abilities. The encounter on Sunday promises to be exciting, with Abia Warriors looking to extend their unbeaten run and Shooting Stars hoping to cause an upset. The result will have significant implications for the league standings, and fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome.
