Robo Queens, Remo Stars, Nasarawa Amazons Chase Super Six Spots

With the 2025 NWFL Premiership season heading into its final stretch, Matchday 12 promises drama, tension, and decisive battles for the remaining three Super Six playoff spots. While Edo Queens, Rivers Angels, and Bayelsa Queens have already punched their tickets to the next phase, a fierce race is underway for the remaining places as teams gear up for crucial reverse fixtures.

Group A Highlights:

• Edo Queens vs Dannaz Ladies: Edo Queens, riding an 11-match unbeaten run, host struggling Dannaz Ladies, who have yet to win in nine games. The Benin giants are favourites at home.
• Ekiti Queens vs Nasarawa Amazons: Nasarawa Amazons, winners of the reverse fixture, are hungry for a top-six finish and will look to capitalise on Ekiti’s six-match winless streak.
• Confluence Queens vs Abia Angels: Despite a poor season, Confluence Queens have shown recent improvement. Abia Angels, still in the playoff hunt, must overcome their away-day struggles to repeat their 3-0 win from the reverse tie.
• Heartland Queens vs Remo Stars Ladies: Heartland’s home record offers hope, but Remo Stars—4-1 winners in the previous encounter—will be eyeing another three points to boost their Super Six dreams.

Group B Highlights:

• Rivers Angels vs Delta Queens: A high-stakes South-South derby. Rivers are unbeaten at home, while Delta Queens, without an away win, need points to stay alive in the playoff hunt.
• Adamawa Queens vs Bayelsa Queens: League leaders Bayelsa, undefeated all season, face bottom-half Adamawa in a fixture they comfortably won 3-0 earlier.
• Benue Queens vs Ibom Angels: Benue, rock-bottom with nine losses, host an Ibom Angels side seeking a rare away win and a season double after a narrow first-leg victory.
• Naija Ratels vs FC Robo Queens: Possibly the match of the round. Unbeaten-at-home Naija Ratels welcome in-form Robo Queens, fresh off a three-game winning run. Their first meeting ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw.
