NPFL

The NPFL has been a tactician's league in 2025/2026. Only 518 goals from 259 fixtures — 2.0 per match — reflect a competition where defensive structure is paramount and every goal carries significant weight.

Title Race. With 7 points separating first from second, Remo Stars are firmly in the driving seat. Rivers United will need a remarkable run of form to mount a serious challenge from their current 64-point tally.

Form & Momentum. An unlikely name tops the form chart: Plateau United, sitting 7th, have gathered 12 points from five matches. Their momentum could shake up the standings if they maintain this level.

Goals & Stars. The battle for top scorer is heating up. A. Musa (Kano Pillars) currently tops the list on 3 goals, with Izuchukwu Chimezie (1) keeping the pressure on.
