A battle for redemption is brewing as Nasarawa Amazons prepare to face Remo Stars Ladies in a high-stakes NWFL showdown, and they’ve fired a serious warning to their visitors ahead of the clash.

After a humbling 4-0 defeat in their last encounter, the Lafia-based side is eager to rewrite the script on home soil, Footballrover reports.

With confidence running high, will the Amazons turn the tide this time?

Nasarawa Amazons ready to defend home turf

Match Day 8 of the Nigeria Women’s Premier Football League sees Nasarawa Amazons host Group A leaders Remo Stars Ladies at the Lafia City Stadium.

Determined to erase the painful memory of their previous loss in Ikenne, the Amazons are bracing for a fierce contest.

Midfielder Joy Igbokwe remains optimistic, insisting her side is ready to rise to the occasion.

“Our expectations are high; we lost in the last game at their home, and now they come to our ground for the reverse fixture. I think it will be a different game. So, I know we should be ready to fight, and we are ready to get the three points. So, hard work and determination will do that for us. We are ready to put in our best,” she said.

With 12 points, the Amazons sit fourth on the league table, while the visitors maintain their dominance at the top with 19 points.

A victory would be a massive boost for the home side in their push for a top-three finish.

Remo Stars ladies face a tough test in Lafia

The Ikenne Ladies may be in commanding form, but they will not have it easy against a motivated Nasarawa Amazons side desperate for redemption.

The Lafia-based team will aim to capitalise on home advantage and hand the group leaders their first major setback of the season.

However, the hosts will be without skipper Mathias Josephine, who is sidelined with a minor injury.

Despite this setback, the team remains focused and determined to prove their mettle when the action kicks off at 4 PM on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.

Can the Nasarawa ladies rise to the occasion and shake up the standings, or will the Sky Blue Stars Ladies extend their dominance?

The battle is set for later today, and Footballrover will surely monitor the game.
