On Wednesday (today), the two teams competing for the last promotion spot in the Nigeria National League, NNL—Ranchers Bees and Jigawa Golden Stars—will face off.
Three teams from the other conferences—Doma United, Inter Lagos, and Sporting Lagos—have advanced to the NPFL, the top division in Nigerian football.
The Ranchers Bees, who now sit atop Conference D with 20 points, will face Gombe United on the road.
All it takes to secure the ticket is a draw at Pantami Stadium.
In order to stay in the league, Gombe United need a win in this encounter.
With 18 points, Jigawa Golden Stars are in third place in Conference D.
Returning to the top division will depend on their away victory against Kebbi United, who are also battling to avoid relegation.
