NWFL Super Six: Remo Stars Ladies face  Naija Ratels test as Nasarawa Amazons battle Bayelsa Queens in Top-of-the-Table clash

Actions continue in the Matchday 2 of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership Super Six as Remo Stars Ladies lock horns with Naija Ratels, followed by a crucial showdown between Nasarawa Amazons and Bayelsa Queens.

All eyes will be on the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne as the playoff picture begins to take shape.

The first match of the day sees debut Super Six participants Remo Stars Ladies aiming to build on their impressive 1-0 victory over defending champions Edo Queens when they face Naija Ratels.

This tie marks the first time these two ambitious sides will meet in NWFL Premiership history.

However, the familiarity is already there, stemming from their dramatic 2-2 draw in the 2024 President Federation Cup semi-final, a match Naija Ratels eventually won 7-6 on penalties.

Remo Stars Ladies, under the guidance of Coach Wemimo Mathew, will be looking to capitalize on their strong start and the energy of their home support.

Their attacking prowess, spearheaded by league top scorer Bolaji Olamide, will be crucial in their quest for another vital three points. Goalkeeper Yewande Balogun's steady presence will also be key in thwarting the Naija Ratels' attack.

For Naija Ratels, this match is a big opportunity for redemption after their disappointing 2-1 loss to Nasarawa Amazons in their opening Super Six fixture.

Following the Remo Stars Ladies versus Naija Ratels clash, the spotlight will turn to a highly anticipated encounter between Nasarawa Amazons and Bayelsa Queens.
