Today, in the Nigerian football championship, last season's champion Enyimba will play against Doma United.
Enyimba, as the champion of the previous season of the Nigerian Professional Football League, currently occupies the 5th position, indicating certain difficulties for the team. They are four points behind the league leader, Lobi Stars. The start of the season was challenging for Enyimba, but over time, the team managed to partially rectify their gameplay. However, the achieved results are still far from the high standards set in previous seasons.
In the last five matches, Enyimba secured two victories but also suffered two defeats, both times in away matches, highlighting the team's problems in games away from home. One of the most disappointing moments was the defeat against the relegation zone team, Aqua, with a score of 1:3, which occurred on 4 March. This match was a real debacle for Enyimba, considering the status of the opponent.
However, in other games, Enyimba showed a stronger side, confidently defeating Gombe with a score of 4:0 on 29 February. Additionally, the team managed to draw with Bendel 0:0 on 24 February and beat Shooting Stars 1:0 on 17 February, indicating Enyimba's capability to deliver quality gameplay. The defeat against Rivers United with a score of 0:2 on 30 January reminds of the team's inconsistency in performance.
Doma United, in the current season of the Nigerian Professional Football League, holds the 10th position with 33 points after 23 games. Recent results are concerning: the team has experienced three losses and played two draws in the last five matches, which led them to drop from medal contention positions to the middle of the table. They are now six points behind Remo Stars, which occupied the fourth place, a team that led the championship for a long time.
Since December, Doma United has won only three out of eleven matches, all home victories against Kano Pillars, Heartland, and Katsina, with a total score of 4:0. In the latest games, Doma United played a 0:0 draw against Sporting Lagos, lost to Bayelsa United 0:2, and to Enugu 0:1, fell to Rivers United 2:3, played another draw 1:1 with Rivers United, and suffered a defeat against Abia Warriors 0:3. These outcomes highlight the team's challenges in maintaining stability and effectiveness, especially in away matches, threatening their position in the upper part of the NPFL table.
In the single head-to-head encounter, Doma United managed to win against last season's champion with a score of 1:0 at home.
Enyimba is expected to win at home and return to the medal contention in the new season
