NPFL top scoring teams

Keep an eye on these Sky Blue stars; they're definitely a force to be reckoned with on and off the pitch!
- Enugu Rangers - 26 Goals (Eighth on the Table)
Despite sitting eighth on the table, Rangers have been packing a punch in the goal-scoring department.
The Flying Antelopes have scored 26 goals so far, showing that they're not to be underestimated, especially following their much-anticipated return to the Cathedral.

It's a tie for third place between Plateau United and Abia Warriors, both boasting a respectable 24 goals.
While Plateau United currently sit sixth on the table, Abia Warriors are holding their own in the tenth spot.

Bayelsa United and Kano Pillars might have the same number of goals, but their fortunes couldn't be more different.
Despite being a top-scoring side in the NPFL, United find themselves languishing in the nineteenth spot, while Pillars are making waves in fourth place.
And with Bayelsa losing their top scorer, Robert Mizo, there could be trouble on the horizon for the South South team.
