The 2025 NWFL Super 6 enters a critical stretch on Thursday, as the race for the league title intensifies. After three thrilling matchdays, only four clubs remain in realistic contention for the crown: Bayelsa Queens, Nasarawa Amazons, Remo Stars Ladies, and Edo Queens. Meanwhile, perennial contenders Rivers Angels and Naija Ratels FC are mathematically out of the race.
While the championship won’t be decided until Saturday, the outcomes of Thursday’s matchday 4 fixtures will go a long way in shaping the final day’s stakes.

Bayelsa Queens vs Edo Queens — A Clash of Aspirations
The early kickoff features current table-toppers Bayelsa Queens against a determined Edo Queens side. Bayelsa, sitting on 7 points from two wins and a draw, are the only unbeaten team so far. Their blend of confidence and consistency has put them in the driver’s seat. Victory in this fixture would take them to 10 points, virtually placing one hand on the trophy.
But Edo Queens, sitting on 4 points (1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss), still have a lifeline. A win for them would see them leap to 7 points, matching Bayelsa’s current tally and reigniting their title hopes. For the defending champions Bayelsa, this game is about confirming dominance; for Edo Queens, it’s a fight to stay relevant in the title conversation.
Rivers Angels vs Naija Ratels — A Battle for Pride
This fixture, once considered a marquee matchup, now carries no title implications. Both Rivers Angels and Naija Ratels FC have crashed out of the title race after underwhelming performances in the first three matchdays.
For Rivers Angels, this is unfamiliar territory. Known for their doggedness and title-contending pedigree, their current position is a surprising twist. However, pride is still on the line. A win here may not bring silverware, but it restores some dignity and gives fans a glimpse of what could be rebuilt next season.
Remo Stars Ladies vs Nasarawa Amazons — Winner Stays Alive
The third fixture of the day might be the most explosive. Remo Stars Ladies (6 points) face off against Nasarawa Amazons (7 points) in a showdown that could shift the title pendulum dramatically.
Both teams are within touching distance of the summit. Should Bayelsa Queens slip against Edo Queens, victory here would see either side climb to the top of the table. Nasarawa will aim to maintain their unbeaten form, while Remo Stars, with their attacking flair, will push for a must-win scenario heading into the final matchday.
Title Outlook — All Eyes on Saturday, But Thursday is Key
While no team can mathematically clinch the title on Thursday, the matchday’s results will serve as the foundation for the final showdown on Saturday. Momentum, positioning, and psychological edge are all up for grabs. For fans, it’s a day of high-stakes football. For the players and coaches, it’s about staying alive in the race or bowing out with heads held high.
