Sporting Supreme is on 3 points having won one and lost one.El-Kanemi Warriors also have 3 points.Sokoto United is the only team with no points but could qualify if they beat El-Kanemi Warriors enough depending on the outcome of the tie between Sporting Supreme and Nasarawa United.

The last day fixtures will see sporting Supreme and Nasarawa United play at 10am at the the Cathedral while Sokoto United El-Kanemi Warriors at the UNEC Temporay Stadium.

……..In the Southern Conference will see Ikorodu City battle Madiba FC at the Cathedral as Inter Lagos engage Beyond Limits of Ikenne-Remo Ogun State.

Beyond Limits top the group with four points after one win and one draw,Oshodi Boys Madiba have three points after shocking Inter Lagos 2-1 in match day two ,leaving Ikorodu City on two points and Inter Lagos on one point.
