The Nigeria Women Premier League (NWPL) will come to an end on Wednesday with little to play for in Group A, but it gets intense in Group B as two teams slug it out for two Super Four spots.

GROUP A

In Group A, the verdict was already out even with games to spare.

Leaders Bayelsa Queens, who face Ibom Angels are through to the Super Four tournament, alongside defending champions Rivers Angels, who ended their campaign last week with a 2-0 loss against Sunshine Queens.

Meanwhile, Sunshine Queens, who are sure of finishing third are guests to Abia Angels.

STAR MATCH: FC ROBO VS HEARTLAND QUEENS

We will have a direct duel between FC Robo Queens and Heartland Queens to confirm the team that will be relegated to this group.

FC Robo, who are without a win in the second stanza of the season need a draw to secure their status, while Heartland Queens will need to win by a 4-goal margin to survive.

GROUP B
The last game decides who plays in the Super Four competition, with all top four teams playing a direct rival.

NASARAWA AMAZONS VS ADAMAWA QUEENS

Leaders Nasarawa Amazon have the upper hand as a home win will see them join the big ladies in the Super Four.

Only an away win can help 3rd-placed Adamawa Queens, after they further damaged their chances with a 3-0 loss to Edo Queens in an outstanding game on Sunday.

DELTA QUEENS VS OSUN BABES
2nd face 4th as Delta Queens entertain Osun Babes. Just like Nasarawa Amazon, Delta Queens will confirm a place in the Super Four with a home win, while Osun Babes need an outright win to have any chance.

Just two points separate all the four teams as they head into this make or mar final round of games.

In other games, Confluence Queens will hope to end the campaign in grand style when they host Pelican Stars, while Edo Queens host relegated Sa’adatu Queens.
