Kwara hope to end eight-year misery against Heartland

Date: 2021-03-14

Kwara United battle Heartland of Owerri in their Nigeria Professional Football League Week 15 tie on Sunday (today), hoping to claim a win against the Naze Millionaires for the first time in eight years.

Heartland were stubborn visitors in their last two visits to Ilorin, picking the maximum points on both occasions to break Kwara hearts.

But Fidelis Ilechukwu and his wards will be facing a difficult task against a rejuvenated Kwara United side who have been superb so far this season in the Nigerian topflight.

Both teams have met 14 times in competitive games – with the Naze Millionaires winning eight, while the Harmony Boys have five wins.

The last time Heartland visited Ilorin was on December 15, 2019 when Christian Pyagbara's 60th-minute goal condemned the hosts to a painful defeat.

Heartland also defeated Kwara United 3-1 in Ilorin on April 19, 2015 while the Harmony Boys' last win over the Owerri based side was a 1-0 away win on August 11, 2013.

Speaking ahead of the showdown, coach Abdullahi Biffo is optimistic his side can end their eight-year misery against the visitors today.

"Heartland have been a good side for years, considering their record over us, but we are ready for them and victory is what we will get on Sunday," Biffo told Kwara United media.

Meanwhile, with 26 points, Kwara United remain on top of the NPFL standings, while Heartland are 11th after 14 games.
