Team News – Plateau United

Plateau United are expected to line up with attacking intent, led by Gafar Saka as the focal point in attack. On the flanks, Alao Dabani provides pace and directness from the wing, while Jonathan Okechukwu anchors the midfield, offering energy and control in the centre of the park.

Team News – Shooting Stars

We head into this fixture with a largely fit squad, giving our technical crew solid options across the pitch. However, head coach Nurudeen Aweroro still has a few concerns ahead of the trip to Jos.

Tunde Azeez is sidelined with illness, Alex Aghahowa is out due to a knock, while Samuel Okon continues his recovery from an Achilles injury. Austin Onyemaechi has returned to full team training, providing a boost, but Tijani Al-Ameen will miss the game as he continues to serve a red card suspension.

Stephen Amos is expected to play a key role in midfield, with Charles Ribannu available for selection alongside Tijani Kabir, providing balance, stability, and control in the middle of the park.

In attack, Ayodele Ismail is likely to operate from a wide area, while Sodiq Ibrahim, after impressing in the last outing, will be looking to lead the line. Alade Balogun and Timitimi Ineikade are also available for selection as we look to maintain our attacking threat.

Outlook

We will rely on collective effort, quick ball circulation, and efficiency in the final third. With confidence growing in the camp, the emphasis will be on executing the game plan with discipline and composure.

Plateau United are a strong, intense side at home, pressing high and using wide areas effectively. After losing to El-Kanemi Warriors, they will be looking to bounce back, with coach Gbenga Ogunbote aiming for a positive result against his former team.
