Form Guide

Despite the change in venue, focus within our camp remains firmly on the task ahead. Following the away defeat to Kun Khalifat in Owerri on Matchday 25, we are determined to respond positively. With the season entering a decisive phase, every point is vital and we will be eager to bounce back and maintain momentum in the standings. Playing away from Ibadan presents a new challenge, but we will look to draw strength from supporters expected to travel and make Abeokuta feel like home.

Warri Wolves arrive as a competitive side known for their physical approach, discipline, and compact structure. They have also shown resilience on the road, capable of producing solid away performances.
