Having suffered 2-0 defeat in the hands Nasarawa Amazons last week at the Lafia City Stadium, Edo Queens are expected to go into this game on Wednesday with vigor and vexation to make sure they return to winning ways and use the match to officially wrap-up the ticket for Super 6, which happens to be the biggest Women football fiesta in the country.
At this point in time, it is a well- known fact that Edo Queens are resilient as they have their eyes fixed on the NWFL title having lost only one game since the beginning of the season.

For the Benin based girls, they have promised to come out smoky on Wednesday against the ladies from Calabar and grab the maximum three points, leaving them to swim in their already battered situation as the weeping team of the group.
In the first leg game played in Calabar, Edo Queens defeated Pelican Stars 1-0 right in front of their aggressive teeming home fans. So in this return leg in Benin, we don’t need a prophet to tell us that Edo Queens will also show their supremacy by making sure they replicate what they did in Calabar few months ago.
