Good day, Enyimba faithful!
It’s Matchday 25, and the biggest Elephants have marched into Katsina for what promises to be another NPFL classic. The Mohammed Dikko Stadium will come alive at 4 PM as we square off against Katsina United in our latest quest for points on the road.
Now, let’s be honest—we haven’t exactly been road warriors under Eguma. Our only away victory came in Bauchi against Lobi Stars, and while we almost stole a point in Uyo, football doesn’t reward “almost.” But today is another day, another battle, and all eyes will be on who steps into Obot’s left-back role and how well they handle the pressure.
Katsina United aren’t exactly the league’s heavyweights, but their home form is solid—they’ve only lost once, drawn three times, and won the other eight. Unfortunately, we haven’t picked up a single point in Katsina since 2019, when Martins Usule’s first half equalizer saved us from a fruitless trip. Since then, it’s been one frustrating journey after another.
But here’s the fun part—Katsina United’s results read like a binary code (1-0 wins, 0-1 losses, 1-1 draws). If there’s ever a chance to flip the script, this might just be it. A 1-0 is one flick away from a draw, and a 1-1 could easily tip in our favor. But let’s not forget—this is the business end of the season, where teams fight for survival like their lives depend on it. And we’re no exception.
Eguma has spoken about a motivated squad, and Obichere Wisdom has doubled down on that confidence. After our hard-fought victory over Rivers United, the boys have rested well and should be ready to put up a strong fight. If we get the result, we could leapfrog Bendel Insurance into 10th place—but as we all know, hope is not a business strategy.
Back tomorrow with the match report. Let’s flip this script!
Enyimba Enyi!
