NPFL Title Race on a Knife’s Edge as Rangers and Rivers Clash in Final Stretch

The 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League season sets up a breathtaking finish with just three matchdays to go. Enugu Rangers sit top on 59 points after their disciplined, crowd-free comeback win over Enyimba.

Meanwhile, defending champions Remo Stars are embroiled in a relegation battle, with only three points separating the bottom eight clubs. Every challenge, chance and late-minute goal now carries title or survival implications. Whether Rangers can maintain consistency or Rivers mount a final assault, this NPFL campaign will be remembered among its most gripping.
