Moreover, both teams will be playing to
reassure their fans on the domestic scene after they were recently
knocked out in the first round of the African Champions League.
Pillars have won the last three Glo Premier League titles and will be hoping to add another this year. The three points from today’s match against their perennial rivals will be a big boost to that ambition.
While the visitors started the NPFL with a barren draw at home to Akwa United, Kano Pillars were involved in an unfortunate incident that left some of their players seriously injured and that kept them out of the league until they made a return with a 2-0 win over Bayelsa United.
This will be the second home game for Kano Pillars and it is expected that the defending champions who are yet to lose at home for over a decade, would keep their record intact.
The last meetings of the two NPFL giants in 2014 ended in home wins; a lone goal in Kano in favour of Kano Pillars while Enyimba waited until the last day of the 2014 season to hand Pillars a 3-1 defeat.
The CAF Champions League disappointment is still fresh in the heart of the home fans after Kano Pillars managed a win that was not good enough to see them through to the next stage. But in their usual style, the home fans will fill the stands to cheer on their darling team, chanting ‘Masu Gida’. However, the People’s Elephant, who are used to playing in front of a capacity crowd, won’t be intimidated by the cheers from the stands
