Barau FC Aims for Victory Against Shooting Stars in NPFL Clash

Barau Football Club will host Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan in a vital Matchday 12 fixture of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano. The Maliya Boys are eager to return to winning ways after last securing a league victory on Matchday 5 against Abia Warriors.

They have struggled at home but have shown resilience on the road, earning five points away. Their recent goalless draw against Niger Tornadoes demonstrated their fighting spirit, although they aimed for a win.

Conversely, Shooting Stars have regained confidence, accumulating seven points from their last three matches, including a significant 4-1 win over Abia Warriors. This match is crucial for both teams, as they are closely positioned on the league table, with Barau FC in seventh place with 16 points from 11 matches.

The passionate home crowd is expected to support Barau FC, who are determined to secure their first victory over Shooting Stars after losing both encounters last season.
