Doma United’s perfect start faces stern Kano test as Rivers, Shooting seek vital points

The attention of Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) enthusiasts will be in the ancient city of Kano on matchday 4 as Pillars host high-flying Doma United at the Sani Abacha Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Doma United sit atop the summit of the league with maximum points after three matches, marking an incredible start following their return to top-flight football this season.

The Gombe-based side are hoping to extend either their winning or unbeaten run against Daniel Ogunmodede’s Masu Gida.

Rivers United and Shooting Stars shift their focus to the league after crashing out in the preliminary rounds of their respective CAF competitions.

The Pride of Rivers lost to Côte d’Ivoire’s San Pedro on the away goals rule, while Shooting Stars fell to Tunisia’s CS Sfaxien 2-1 on aggregate score.

The Oluyole Warriors are up against Plateau United in Jos, where they haven’t won in their last eight trips, while Rivers United are also in a territory where they have struggled to pick up points as they are guests to Nasarawa United.
