Super six race intensifies with NWFL Matchday 15

Matchday 15 of the 2025/26 Nigeria Women Football League Premiership will feature crucial fixtures and derby clashes that could determine the race for Super Six qualification.
With two teams already qualified, the remaining four spots may be decided on Wednesday as nine matches are scheduled across various centres nationwide.
The standout fixture will see Rivers Angels host Bayelsa Queens in Port Harcourt, with both sides already through to the Super Six.
Both teams have recorded four wins and one loss in their last five matches, underlining their strong form this season.
Bayelsa Queens won the reverse fixture 2-0, but Rivers Angels will rely on home advantage as they seek redemption in what is expected to be a closely contested encounter.
In Benin, Edo Queens will host Naija Ratels FC of Abuja as clear favourites, having secured a 3-0 away win in the reverse fixture.
Edo Queens have shown consistency in both attack and defence, while Naija Ratels have struggled, recording just one win in their last five matches.
Ibom Angels will take on Heartland Queens in Uyo, aiming to overturn a 2-0 defeat suffered in the first leg.
Heartland Queens, however, have been inconsistent in recent matches, losing three of their last five games.
In Ado Ekiti, Ekiti Queens will face Pacesetter Queens of Ibadan in a South-West derby, with both teams seeking to improve their form.
Ekiti Queens have recorded two wins in their last five matches, while Pacesetter Queens have managed just one win all season.
Confluence Queens will host Dannaz Ladies of Lagos in Iyahmo, Edo, as they aim to return to winning ways after their unbeaten run ended last week.
Confluence Queens won the reverse fixture 3-0, but Dannaz Ladies are expected to pose a stronger challenge.
Osun Babes will face Nasarawa Amazons, who remain favourites following their 2-0 win in the first leg and more consistent performances this season.
In Asaba, Delta Queens will take on Ahudiyannem Queens of Abia, who are unbeaten in their last five matches.
Delta Queens, who won the reverse fixture 1-0, have struggled recently, losing their last two games.
Remo Stars Ladies will host Sunshine Queens in Ikenne in another South-West derby, with both sides aiming for stability after inconsistent outings.
The reverse fixture ended 1-1.
FC Robo Queens will host Abia Angels in Lagos, seeking to complete a double after a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture.
Both teams have recorded similar results in recent matches, setting up a potentially closely fought contest.
With derby rivalries, shifting momentum and Super Six qualification at stake, Matchday 15 is expected to deliver exciting encounters across centres.
