The Digest:
With three rounds of matches remaining in the 2025/26 Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) season, four teams remain in the title race while eight teams are locked in the relegation battle. Enugu Rangers lead the table by one point over Rivers United, with Ikorodu City and Abia Warriors lurking as dark horses. Defending champions Remo Stars are fighting relegation alongside Enyimba and Kwara United, with only goal difference keeping Remo out of the drop zone. Warri Wolves, Bayelsa United, Kun Khalifa, and Wikki Tourists currently occupy the four relegation slots.
Key Points:
- Rangers' poor away form (only two wins all season) complicates their title run.
- Rivers United have kinder fixtures with two home games in their final three.
- Ikorodu City could crown a fairytale season with the biggest success of all.
- Remo Stars' decline from champions to relegation candidates shocks the league.
- Only three points separate Enyimba in 13th from the relegation zone.
