LIVE UPDATE: Heartland Vs Warri Wolves

The Seasiders had the better of the Naze Millionaires when both sides met in Match Day 6 of the Nigeria Professional Football League in April.


Goals from Gbolahan Salami and Lordson Ichull gave Warri Wolves FC a 2-0 emphatic win over Heartland FC.


However, Heartland FC will have revenge at the back of their mind when both teams lock horns today, August 30 at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri in Week 26 of the NPFL.


Heartland will be looking to get their quest for a continental ticket back on track after a 1-0 defeat to Abia Warriors in their Week 25 fixture. They will be banking on top scorer Bright Ejike to end his goal drought after 6 games when they entertain Warri Wolves.


On the other end, Warri Wolves will be without their star man Gbolohan Salami after the striker was surprisingly dropped from the 6-man list of local based players to be merged with the 18 international players for Super Eagles AFCON 2017 qualifiers against Tanzania.


This game promises to be exciting as Heartland FC is placed 8th and Warri Wolves 3rd on the Log.


Naij.com will be bringing you Live Coverage of the mouthwatering encounter at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.
