MFM FC To Compound Nasarawa United Woes At Agege Stadium Today

Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Football Club of Lagos will go head to head with Nasarawa United Football Club of Lafia in one of today’s stand out fixtures in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

The NPFL debutant proved their doubters wrong in the first stanza of the league with brilliant performances and entertaining Football that earned them the 9th spot on the log with 27 points from 18 league matches.

MFM FC won the reverse fixture 2-1 at the Aper Aku Stadium, Makurdi on February 21, courtesy of goals from Newman Musa and Onuwa Chukwuka while Ifeanyi Nweke scored the hosts only goal of the match.

This encounter is going to be a difficult one for both sides but interestingly, the visitors who have not won a game in their last ten away matches will be looking for a way to take their pound of flesh while the host will be looking for a way to keep intact their home record with a convincing win.

Both teams are in good shape going into this duel. The Lafia-based club came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over reigning NPFL champions, Enyimba international Football Club of Aba on Sunday in their last home match while MFM FC muscled a point in their last away match to Ifeanyi Ubah Football Club of Nnewi after a goalless draw.
