Here www.thenwfl.com took a look at the preview for the start of the season.
Delta Queens Vs Rivers Angels (Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba):
Rivers Angels begin their title defence by facing Delta Queens at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba. The ‘Jewels’ Of Rivers didn’t do well at the Inaugural CAF Women Champions League in Egypt and will face their long-term rival Delta Queens in a very tough derby.
Delta Queens still have their experienced goalkeeper who is expected to start in goal today.
Confluence Queens Vs Pelican Stars (Confluence Stadium, Lokoja):
Confluence Queens are definitely the favourite in this encounter, but Pelican Stars on a good day can stun their opponents. Coach Liadi Bashiru will unleash his new signings on Wednesday and will be hoping he can record an outright win in his first league game with Confluence Queens.
Players To Watch: Confluence Queens: Alexander Florence, Ibinabo George will, Saidat Adebiyi.
Pelican Stars: Hannah Amos, Hodo Williams,
Naija Ratels Vs Osun Babes (Area 10 Sports Complex, Abuja):
Naija Ratels will be playing in the Premiership for the first time and will face a side who recorded a victory in their first game last season. The ‘Omoluabi Queens’ won Ibom Angels at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in their first game of the 2021 season and will be looking at doing the same at Abuja. Naija Ratels are an unpredictable side and will surely give their all to record a very favourable result at home.
