On Sunday, December 1, eight NPFL matches will take place across Nigeria, including the highly anticipated encounter between Rivers United and Kano Pillars. Rivers United, coached by Finidi George, need a win to maintain their pressure on Remo Stars, their main rivals.
Another standout match is the oriental derby between Enugu Rangers and Enyimba of Aba, with Enyimba having two NPFL games in hand due to their continental commitments.
