NWFL Matchday 7 Preview Bayelsa Queens FC Robo Queens Set the Pace as Midweek Battles Ignite Across Nigeria

The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership returns this midweek with Matchday 7 fixtures spread across the country, promising another round of high-intensity encounters as the race for Super Six places and survival continues to heat up.

Games will be played in Numan, Port Harcourt, Benin, Uyo, Lagos, Ile Ogbo, Asaba and Ikenne, underlining the league’s national spread and growing competitiveness.

At the summit, Bayelsa Queens and FC Robo Queens remain the only perfect teams across both groups. The champions and the Lagos-based giants have not dropped a point nor tasted defeat, setting the pace for teams chasing Super 6 dreams.

At the other end, Naija Ratels, Pacesetter Queens and Ahudiyannem Queens are still searching for their first win of the season, with Ahudiyannem yet to score a single goal. Matchday 7 presents a critical opportunity for fortunes to change.

Adamawa Queens FC vs Bayelsa Queens FC

Adamawa Queens return to action after resting last matchday, still licking their wounds from a shocking 3-0 home defeat to Rivers Angels, where Abasiofon Uwah struck a second-half hat trick to end their home invincibility.

They now face the toughest possible test against defending champions Bayelsa Queens, who have been flawless so far. The Prosperity Girls boast of 15 points from five matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding just three.

Adamawa Queens sit sixth with seven points and will rely on grit and discipline from players like Sandra Akaajime, Akoreded Odesanya, Immaculate Paul and Omon Afesinmi to keep the scoreline respectable.

Bayelsa Queens parade a fearsome squad including Janet Akekeromowei, Kindness Ifeanyi, Florence Alexander, Chinaza Kindness, Aminat Folorunsho and Chiamaka Ezekwugo. Fresh from arriving in Yola via Air Peace, the champions insist they are ready, relentless and united.

Prediction leans heavily in favour of Bayelsa Queens.

Rivers Angels FC vs Heartland Queens FC

A familiar rivalry is renewed at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium as Rivers Angels host Heartland Queens in Port Harcourt.

The Jewel of Rivers suffered their first defeat of the season last week, losing 2-0 away to Bayelsa Queens, while Heartland Queens picked up a confidence-boosting home victory over Ibom Angels.

Both sides know each other well, having clashed multiple times in league and cup competitions, including a one-all draw during the 2024 NWFL Super Six.

Rivers Angels will depend on the experience of Joy Michael, Sharon Onwere, Taiwo Ajibade, Grace Saliu and Abasiofon Uwah to respond positively.

Heartland Queens, under Obi Ogbala, have been resilient away from home and will parade Oluebube Umejiaku, Faith Samson, Nnenna Williams and Chimebere Opara.

Though it is just a point separating them on the table, this fixture will definitely swing in favour of Rivers Angels.

Edo Queens FC vs Pacesetters Queens FC

At the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin, Edo Queens welcome struggling Pacesetters Queens in what appears to be the most one-sided fixture of the round.

Edo Queens are second in Group A with 12 points, three behind Bayelsa Queens, and come into this match fresh from a dominant 3-0 away win over Naija Ratels.

Led by league top scorer Atume Doosuur and supported by Mary Mamudu, Precious Oscar, Kafaya Mafisere, Merit Offor and Chioma Moses, Edo Queens have been ruthless at home.

Pacesetters Queens have lost five games and drawn one, conceding heavily along the way. Teslimot Balogun, Yetunde Ayantosho, Samantha and Olaronke Ola will need a miracle performance to survive in Benin.

Edo Queens manager Moses Aduku insists his team will not underrate any opponent as they continue to build momentum toward their title ambition.

Ibom Angels FC vs Ekiti Queens FC

Ibom Angels host Ekiti Queens behind closed doors following their defeat to Bayelsa Queens in their last home fixture.

Ekiti Queens arrive in high spirits after winning their last two games, including a crucial away victory over Pacesetters Queens.

Zainab Ismail has been instrumental for Ekiti Queens, supported by Basirat Alatise, Patience Yaro, Ajoke Adeyemi, Amarachi Okoronko and Seun Fakunle.

Ibom Angels will rely on Bridgert Agomuoh, Omolola Ibidun, Victory Onuma, Juliet John and Happiness Agboye to rediscover confidence.

Ekiti Queens sit on seven points, three ahead of Ibom Angels, making this a pivotal clash.

Confluence Queens FC vs Nasarawa Amazons FC

Confluence Queens return home buoyed by a stunning 3-0 away win over Dannaz Ladies.

Seember Emmanuel, Matchday 6 Player of the Week, alongside Blessing Sunday, Hannah Solomon and Joy Okoronkwo, will lead the charge.

However, Nasarawa Amazons remain formidable, sitting second in Group B with four wins and two draws from six matches.

With stars like Joy Igbokwe, Confidence Nwoha, Faridat Abdulwahab and Ayowunmi Omosuyi, the Amazons are overwhelming favourites.

Dannaz Ladies FC vs Ahudiyannem Queens FC

A bottom-of-the-table clash unfolds at Onikan Waterfront as Dannaz Ladies face goal-shy Ahudiyannem Queens.

Dannaz Ladies have been inconsistent, conceding 14 goals but capable of resilience, as seen against Osun Babes earlier in the season.

Ahudiyannem Queens have two points from six matches and are yet to score. Iloedozie Happiness, Chizaram Onyenze and Blessing Awoniyi must step up urgently.

A Dannaz victory could lift them away from the relegation zone.

Osun Babes FC vs Sunshine Queens FC

A classic Southwest derby takes centre stage in Ile Ogbo as Osun Babes host Sunshine Queens.

Osun Babes have been solid at home, picking up seven points, while Sunshine Queens have been impressive on the road.

Key players for Osun Babes include Nofisat Tijani, Abisola Abiona and Ayomide Adewale.

Sunshine Queens counter with Sefunmi Akintunde, Bunmi Adenuga and Olajumoke Abina.

A tightly contested derby is expected.

Delta Queens FC vs Abia Angels FC

Delta Queens host Abia Angels in Asaba with Super Six ambitions in mind.

Delta Queens have improved steadily and currently sit third in Group B. Abia Angels slipped last week but remain dangerous away from home.

With players like Tsebee Rita, Itobore Destiny and Ogaga Princess, Delta Queens will push hard, but Abia Angels could frustrate.

Remo Stars Ladies FC vs FC Robo Queens

The headline fixture of Matchday 7 takes place in Ikenne as Remo Stars Ladies face unbeaten FC Robo Queens in a fierce Southwest derby.

Remo Stars Ladies have struggled since the departure of Bolaji Olamide, last season’s highest goal scorer with 15 goals. They have scored just four goals this season and conceded two.

FC Robo Queens are flawless with six wins from six, scoring 14 goals and conceding only one.

With Favour Nwokocha, Oluwakemi Adegbuyi, Opeyemi Ajakaiye, Tosin Rafiu and Marvellous Oladunni, Robo Queens look unstoppable.

Derbies, however, have a habit of defying logic, making this clash unmissable.
