Kwara Aims to Keep Unbeaten Streak Against Bayelsa

Kwara United will try to keep their unbeaten streak going and maintain their spot in the Nigeria Premier Football League. They will face Bayelsa United, who have already been relegated, in their last match of the 2025/26 season at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa on Sunday, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.

The Harmony Boys are feeling the pressure as they head into matchday 38. They know that a draw will secure their place in the league for another season.

Kwara United arrived in Yenagoa ready for this important game. They are preparing for a tough match even though Bayelsa United has already dropped out of the league.

The Ilorin-based team has had good results against the Prosperity Boys recently. Last season, they almost completed a double over Bayelsa United, drawing in Yenagoa and winning in Ilorin.

Team Updates

Head coach Ashifat Suleiman got some good news before the match with the return of Toyeeb Gidado. He missed the last game due to a one-match suspension after getting a red card against Niger Tornadoes in Minna.

But Akanni Akeem will not play on Sunday because he has too many yellow cards. Philip Ozor or Shola Abdulraheem is likely to take his place in the lineup.

Suleiman said his players know how important this game is. He shared that they purposely rested some key players during the President Federation Cup match to focus on the relegation threat from Bayelsa United.

“We have a crucial game this weekend against Bayelsa United which was the reason we rested some of our best legs in the President Federation Cup,” Suleiman told Radio One.

He added, “We expect a tough battle against the already relegated Bayelsa United because they will want to give their fans something to cheer up with after their drop from the league.

“We are fully motivated toward achieving our goal in the game.”

Suleiman hopes to lead the Harmony Boys to a strong finish. The team is currently on a five-match unbeaten run as they approach the final day of the season.
