The opening day of the 2014/2015 Nigeria Premier League season on March 8, was presented with a shocker as newly promoted Ifeanyi Ubah FC recorded a 2-0 win over third placed team of last season, Warri Wolves FC
The Seasiders will however be looking to get their revenge today, August 5, when both teams square up again, this time at the 20,000 capacity Warri Township stadium.
FC Ifeanyi Ubah will be looking to upset their host once again and join Enugu Rangers as the only team to pick up maximum points at the Warri township stadium this season.
This game promises to be exciting as Warri Wolves will hope to get maximum points following the end of their 4-match unbeaten run against Sharks Fc last weekend while, FC Ifeanyi Ubah will be looking to record a first win in four games in the NPFL.
