Plateau United return to Jos this afternoon (3pm) as they host Kun Khalifa in what is their final NPFL fixture of the month.
After a recent run that included travel and a “home” game in Lafia, the Peace Boys are back at the Jos Stadium, where they will look to end the month on a positive note in front of their fans.
Their last outing ended in a narrow defeat in Port Harcourt, and this match offers another chance to reset before a busy period ahead.
TEAM NEWS
Plateau United continue to deal with several injury concerns.
Obiuto Iwueke and Ojukwu are out with hip issues, Mafeng Pam is unavailable due to illness, while Farouk Umar and Nenrot Silas are both managing knee problems. Samuel Kalu remains sidelined with a thigh issue, and Isaiah Sunday is still out with a stress fracture.
On the positive side, Abdallah has returned to training, Yusuf Abdullahi is close to full fitness, and Favour Bala is gradually working his way back into the squad.
Coach Gbenga Ogunbote is expected to rely on squad depth and rotation as he selects his starting XI.
Kun Khalifa – In Better Rhythm
Kun Khalifa arrive in Jos on the back of improved form, with consecutive wins over Warri Wolves and Nasarawa United boosting their confidence.
They’ve looked sharper in attack in recent games, but their away performances remain inconsistent like most NPFL clubs.
Plateau United will see this as an opportunity to take control early and dictate the game.
The last meeting between both sides ended 2–0 in favour of Kun Khalifa, something the Peace Boys will be aware of heading into this encounter.
Looking Ahead
After this fixture, Plateau United will head into a demanding period of back-to-back away games next month against Warri Wolves and Nasarawa United.
That makes today’s game an important chance to finish this month with stability and momentum before the schedule intensifies.
