Plateau United continue their Nigeria Premier Football League campaign on Sunday when they travel to Yenagoa to face Bayelsa United at the Samson Siasia Stadium. Kick-off is 4:00PM (WAT).
The Peace Boys go into the fixture on the back of a confidence-boosting 2–1 victory over Enyimba in Jos,a result that lifted the team up the table and strengthened belief within the squad. Now, the focus shifts to turning that momentum into a strong performance away from home.
PLATEAU UNITED — BUILDING ON CONFIDENCE
Plateau United have shown discipline, structure and attacking threat in recent weeks, especially at the Jos Stadium. However, the next step is clear, translating that into consistent away performances.
The team has collected zero point from their last four matches on the road, and Sunday presents a chance to reset that record. With players like Mubarak Usman and Gideon Monday showing sharp form, the Peace Boys will look to maintain intensity, stay compact defensively and take their chances when they come.
BAYELSA UNITED — LOOKING TO RESPOND
Bayelsa United will be aiming to react after back-to-back defeats to Warri Wolves and Kun Khalifa. They remain dangerous in attack and have scored in four of their last five games, but their recent form means they will be eager to find stability in front of their supporters.
The Prosperity Boys are always competitive at home, and Plateau United will need to stay focused in key moments.
From the Technical Bench
Head Coach Shola Adegun spoke ahead of the game, focusing on mentality, discipline and execution:
“It is another big test for us, and we must raise our level. We have to maintain a high work rate, be aggressive when we need to, and be more decisive in front of goal.”
On the collective approach to defending:
“Everyone has a responsibility without the ball,from the forwards to the defence. We move together, and we defend together.”
On set-piece strength:
“Of course we want to improve from open play, but set pieces remain a key part of our game and we will continue to use every advantage we have.”
