Kwara United Football Club has put behind them the draw against Shooting Stars and are now fully focused on their Matchday 15 fixture of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) against debutants Barau FC at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano, on Sunday.
The Harmony Boys have shown renewed commitment since the stalemate with 3SC last Sunday, returning to training the following day to intensify preparations for the crucial encounter. This renewed energy is further boosted by the return of key players previously sidelined by injury, including Akanni Akeem and Yahaya Ibrahim. However, Gidado, Shola Abdulraheem, Aliu Salaudeen, Olarewaju AbdulRahman, and Issa Gata remain unavailable.
After Friday’s final training session, Head Coach Ashifat Suleiman reaffirmed his determination to make up for the points dropped at home. He expressed confidence in having a good outing on Sunday, especially with the return of some important squad members.
Players showed strong determination during training, responding positively to instructions from the technical crew as they jostled for places in the final matchday squad.
Kwara United currently sit 12th on the NPFL log with 18 points from 14 matches, while Barau FC occupy 19th position with 13 points, also from 14 matches.
Barau FC will be welcoming their fans back to the stadium after a period of playing behind closed-doors, a move that could boost their morale. However, the Harmony Boys remain unshaken, having previously secured valuable points at the Sani Abacha Stadium.
Meanwhile, supporters of Kwara United back home will have another opportunity to watch the match live, as the Office of the SSA (Special Duties) to the Club Chairman has concluded arrangements to stream the game live via NPFL live at the FA office.
Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m., with the Harmony Boys aiming to return to winning ways on The road.
