The 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League season is heading toward one of the most dramatic conclusions in recent Nigerian football history, with just one point separating Rangers International F.C and Rivers United F.C ahead of the decisive final round of matches on Sunday.
After 37 fiercely contested games, Rangers sit at the summit on 65 points, while Rivers United remain firmly on their heels with 64 points following crucial victories on Matchday 37.
Now, the title race will be decided over one final nerve-shredding evening.
Rangers travel to Lagos to face Ikorodu City F.C at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena knowing victory guarantees a record-equalling ninth NPFL crown.
Rivers United, meanwhile, must defeat Katsina United F.C in Port Harcourt and hope Rangers drop points away from home.
