Abia Warriors and Heartland are in a race to beat the drop in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) when they play hosts to Enyimba and Niger Tornadoes respectively on Wednesday.

Both teams are in the bottom-four of the standings and need outright wins to give themselves lifeline in the race for survival.

Abia Warriors are up against outgoing champions Enyimba, who have had a disappointing season by their standards, but still have a top-three spot to play for, if mathematical equations are put into consideration.

The People's Elephant will need to win their last two matches of the season against Abia Warriors and FC Ifeanyiubah. Both games are on the road and are also southeast derbies for the two-time African champions, leaving them with a Herculean task.

For Abia Warriors an outright win over their city rivals this Wednesday will see them leapfrog MFM FC and Warri Wolves and possibly Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) on goal difference. It will mean Wolves will drop into the bottom-four going into matchweek 37 this weekend.
