The Pride of Rivers are looking to get back on track after losing to Plateau United on matchday 11 in Jos, ending their 10-game unbeaten streak in the league.
The Giant Elephants, Wikki Tourist have not been very successful on the road this season.
They’ve ended up winning just one of their four games on the road, against Dakkada FC earlier this month.
Usman Abd’Allah’s team is currently in eighth place, but they have the same number of points (18) as Nasarawa United.
