Kano Pillars, former Nigerian champions, are preparing for their first away victory in the Nigeria Premier Football League after two recent draws. The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) midweek clash will take place at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan against their arch-rivals, 3SC. This fixture, a rescheduled Week 3 match, pits two historic and traditional Nigerian football giants against each other.
While the home team, 3SC, aims to capitalize on home support to improve their position in the table, Kano Pillars seek their maiden away win in the league. Key players Ahmed Musa and Rabiu "Pele" Ali are expected to shine in the potentially intense encounter due to their experience in handling away atmospheres. Veteran defender Abdullahi Musa, who contributed importantly to a point in the last home match against Sporting Lagos, will be tasked with safeguarding Kano Pillars' goal against 3SC's potent attackers.
Their previous meeting on March 1, 2026, saw 3SC emerge victorious with a 2-1 win at the same venue. Currently, Kano Pillars sit sixth in the league standings with 11 points from two wins and five draws, while 3SC finds themselves in the fourth-from-bottom spot with only seven points from two wins, one draw, and three losses.
