Enyimba target Ikorodu City victory to revive NPFL campaign

Enyimba are aiming to return to winning ways when they host Ikorodu City in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 13 fixture on Sunday.

The nine-time NPFL champions will welcome Ikorodu City to Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, looking to respond to last weekend’s 1-0 defeat by Ranchers Bees in Minna.

That loss extended a difficult run for Enyimba, who are currently 17th in the NPFL table with 11 points from 12 matches. Victory against Ikorodu City would give the club a chance to improve its position and earn maximum points from the home fixture.

The People’s Elephant used their social media platforms to underline their readiness for the match and urged supporters to attend in numbers to back the team.

“This Sunday, we host Ikorodu City. Come and cheer the People’s Elephant to victory. Enyimba Enyi!” the club posted.

Enyimba will be seeking a stronger performance at home after their disappointing result in Minna, with the match offering an opportunity to make up ground in the standings.

Ikorodu City will provide the opposition as Enyimba attempt to turn their preparation into a much-needed league win.
