Middle Belters Plateau United will this afternoon at New Jos Stadium engage Kano Pillars otherwise called Sai Masu Gida
The tie is in continuation of Nigeria’s top flight which is reaching its climax
During the reversed edition played at the guest temporary home Muhammad Dikko stadium in Katsina it was the Pyramid City Club that took the day via a last minute goal by Super Eagles Skipper Ahmed Musa to make the encounter two goals to one
Thus , nobody could say what would be the outcome of today’s game whether it would be a repeat of the first round or a pay back time until the final whistle as all the teams are badly in need of the vital points
Historically since the early days matches involving Pillars and Plateau United in
Jos usually ended in stalemate
But this duel is a different one in view of the precarious condition the tin city side plateau United found itself in the twenty team event as they are facing relegation
On the other hand Pillars who last week played a score draw against visiting Nasarawa United and just on Tuesday eliminated from President Federation Cup by Enugu Rangers by alone goal will not fold their arms and allowed the Jos side to whack them easily without putting a strong resistance especially at this period that the level of officiating has vastly improved unlike during previous occasions that home teams were favoured against their guests
Football as pundits have been saying is unpredictable or in other words is not one plus one that gives two
Certainly is not over until it is over
Kick off time is three o’clock
