The cities of Aba and Kano will host the star matches in this weekend Nigeria Premier League Week 31 games just as the oil city of Port Harcourt host the derby of strugglers.
In Aba, it will be a game between table toppers Enyimba FC and third placed Wikki Tourist FC of Bauchi that is expected to set the commercial town on 'fire'.
Enyimba with 54 points who have not lost at home this season will be taking on Wikki with 36 goals for and 27 against with a plus 7 goals advantage in a game that will decide where the title will go at the close of the season.
Enyimba will want to consolidate their lead on the log just as Wikki will want to shock Enyimba in Aba to brighten their chance of winning the league.
Speaking to SHOT! during the week, Wikki's sweat merchant Abdu Maikaba said the game in Aba tomorrow is crucial to their aspiration to win the league crown for the first time.
"I am happy we are doing well. I must tell you my players are in good shape to take on any team in the race for the title and as we engage Enyimba on Sunday, I see the match as the one that will decide if we are going to win the league.
"Enyimba is a good side any day but you cannot rule us out as we have what it takes to tackle them right in front of their home crowd. My players know the importance of this game and our winning it will give our title drive a great lift. I believe with God and hard work we will get it," he said.
In Kano, Pillars will be hosting second placed Warri Wolves inside the Sani Abacha stadium. The boys from Delta will want to see if they can hand Pillars their second home defeat this season.
Pillars who appear to be crawling back into the top of the log will not give the Coach Paul Aigbogun side any space to operate as they will unleash their deadly strikers Hassan Adamu, Tony Edjomarigwe, Moses Ekpai and top striker Gambo Mohammed on the Wolves.
