Action continues this weekend in the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, with all eyes on the Southern Delta University Main Bowl, Ozoro, Delta State, where Shooting Stars SC travel to face newly promoted Warri Wolves in a highly anticipated Matchday 6 encounter.

The Oluyole Warriors come into this clash with renewed energy and confidence after finally securing their first win of the campaign on Matchday 5 against newcomers Kun Khalifat FC.

Meanwhile, the Seasiders will be desperate to bounce back after a narrow away defeat in Maiduguri last weekend.

A Crucial Fixture for Both Teams

Sunday’s showdown carries huge significance as both sides continue to navigate the early stages of the season.

For Warri Wolves, it represents a chance to end a frustrating run. The Delta-based side have gone three matches without victory, collecting just one point from a possible nine. Playing at home again in front of their passionate supporters, they will be eager to rediscover their rhythm and climb up the table.

Shooting Stars, on the other hand, arrive in Ozoro with fresh confidence. Their hard-fought victory over Kun Khalifat not only delivered their first three points of the season but also injected belief into a team determined to shake off a slow start.

For Nurudeen Aweroro’s men, this is more than a game, it is a test of resilience, mentality, and consistency away from home.
For the Wolves, it is a desperate hunt for victory.
For the Oluyole Warriors, it is about character, determination, and building momentum.
