Akwa United have underperformed lately, having lost four of their last five league matches. As a result of their poor form this season, the Uyo outfits are in the relegation zone, occupying the 18th position with 21 points after 22 league matches.
Enyimba head into this game coming off a 4-0 home win over Gombe United on Thursday afternoon, and the win took them to the top of the table with 39 points after 22 games. The People’s Elephants, who won three and drew one of their last five league matches, will want to maintain their place at the top when they face underperforming Akwa United, and a win will eventually do that.
