Preview

Match preview

Niger Tornadoes host Plateau United in the third round of the NPFL season, with both sides sitting level on three points after recording one win and one defeat across their opening two fixtures.

Niger Tornadoes opened their campaign with a 2-1 home victory against Enyimba before falling 3-2 in a high-scoring away match at Kano Pillars. Their attacking output has been sharp with four goals scored across two matches, and they will look to leverage home advantage once again.

Plateau United enter this clash after securing a narrow 1-0 home win over Kwara United, bouncing back from an opening 2-0 defeat away to Rivers United. Having failed to score on their travels so far, Plateau United face a challenging task against a Niger Tornadoes side that has historically been dependable in this fixture on home ground.
