The reigning Nigeria League
champions Kano Pillars are to
effectively begin their title defense
this afternoon as they take on Bayelsa
United in one of the Match Day 2
games in the Glo Nigeria Professional
Football League.
Pillars could not take part in the
original season opening games owing
to the robbery attack suffered en-
route going to Owerri for the clash
against Heartland and with all the
players now out of hospital save for
Mohammed Gambo the Pyramid Boys
are finally set to rumble.
As witnessed in Aba over the last
weekend, another impressive crowd
turnout is anticipated at the Sani
Abacha Stadium in Kano to witness
the Pillars Bayelsa duel
Kano is by no means a good hunting
ground for Bayelsa United who have
failed to take a single point or score a
goal in their last two visits to the
ancient.
With Gambo effectively out of this tie,
off-season recruit, Christian Obiozor is
expected to lead Pillars charge for
goals as Coach Okey Emordi’s side are
expected to be firing on all cylinders.
Bayelsa United started the season on
a rather not too impressive note
having settled for a 1-1 draw in last
weekend’s outing against Lobi Stars
and with another defeat looming in
Kano the team may be in for another
relegation dug out fight yet again this
season.
