Head coach of Plateau United, Kennedy Boboye, has insisted that the
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) title race is still open,
even with 10 matches left.
The Jos side are on top of the league with 51 points from 28 games and are five points ahead of second-placed MFM.
“We are aware we must continue to give our best if we are to end the season as league champions,” Boboye told Goal.
“I still believe we have lots of matches still to be played before
the end of the season and it won’t be fair on other teams if we say we
are going to win the league when we still have 30 points more to
negotiate. We shall take our games one after the other. I believe the
only way we can win the league is to continue to do well both home and
away.
“We are still very hopeful of picking more away wins and draws before
the end of the season. We won’t also take our opponents for granted in
our home matches knowing that they can surprise us if we fail to respect
them. We are on the right course to win the league and we must continue
that routine until the end of the season. We cannot say that the league
title race is over when we still have teams in the top five pushing for
more points from both home and away matches.”
Plateau United are away at Niger Tornadoes in another NPFL tie on Sunday.
