As the Nigerian Premier League enters Match Day 34, Remo Stars will hope to stay in the title race when they welcome Kano Pillar. These two sides meet on Saturday, third placed Remo being nine points ahead of ninth placed Kano Pillars. It is the league leaders Enugu Rangers’ pace that will worry Remo Stars more. Caught up in a crowded race, Remo Stars’ 56 points place them four behind Enugu Rangers. A 3-2 defeat away to Kwara United last time out didn’t do Remo Stars any favors. As a consequence, they dropped a place down to third, tied on 56 points with second placed Enyimba. That defeat brought them back down to earth after two straight wins earlier. Their two wins came at home, where they’ve been quite strong, and will be happy to take this at home in Ikenne. In Remo Stars’ last 11 home matches, they posted straight wins. They are unbeaten in 28 matches there.

The last time Kano Pillars visited Remo Stars, they left having won 3-1. They followed that up with a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture back in December. As things stand, Kano Pillars are unbeaten in five matches against Remo Stars, having won three of them. They’ve only failed to score in one of those five matches. This is the run of form they’ll want coming into this game, having struggled a bit in recent times. Being 13 points off the league leaders, any dropped points here will throw them off the title race, at least mathematically. Kano Pillars warmed up for this game with a 3-1 win over Doma United. That however, happens to be their third win only in the last 12 matches. They have seven losses in that 12-game run, and only managed two clean sheets. Their away run isn’t promising either, having failed to win any of their last 10 matches on the road. They failed to score in four of them, and conceded two or more in five.
