Four time premier league Champions Kano Pillars Football Team will Wednesday at their base Sani Abacha Stadium confront visiting Kwara United of Ilorin
The match is a rescheduled fixture in continuation of the top flight
Optimistically the game is a must win match for the two sides who lost their previous duels at both home and away
While Elkanemi Warriors thrashed Pillars in far away Maiduguri the Afonja Warriors as Kwara United were otherwise called lost to visiting Abia Warriors at home by alone goal a situation that led to the dismissal of Chief Coach Tunde Sani
Thus the cracker is expected to pull a large crowd as Pillars has not been watched by its darling fans for quite a while due to postponement of its previous engagements as a result of continental matches by both Remo Stars and Kwara United
But the game is not expected to be so cheap as some people may expect as football is unpredictable as a light mistake may surprise you particularly at this period that officiating has vastly improved unlike in the past when home teams are prioritised to the detriment of their visitors
It becomes apparent on the two coaches especially that of Pillars Evans Ogenyi to sit well and face the tie with utmost seriousness in view of what will be the outcome of the game provided the home side failed to grab the maximum points at stake as to be sincere the fans are impatient going by their precarious position on the log as all what they are praying for is to clear their upcoming duels at home as it will improve their standing on the log
But as the visitors will not be in the ancient city for jamboree they will do the needful so as to go home happy as things were not favourable for the club for now going by how they were edged out from continental engagement by Ashanti Kotoko of Ghana before Abia Warriors added salt to injury in the premiership as all the games ended by one goal margin
When they visited Pillars last year at Katsina the tie ended one all draw but anything can happen as soccer is dynamic
