Head coach of Enyimba, Gbenga Ogunbote, has insisted that the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) title race is still wide open.
Plateau United currently lead with 31 points and are closely followed by El-Kanemi Warriors who have 30 points. MFM FC are in third place with 30 points too.
Enyimba are sixth with 25 points, six points behind Plateau United.
Speaking ahead of Enyimba’s away game at Katsina United on Sunday, Ogunbote said each of the 20 teams competing in the NPFL can win the title.
“We still have about 21 games to determine who wins the league. It’s still a long way,” Ogunbote told Completesportsnigeria.com.
“Nobody would say he has won the league. Even in England, despite the fact that the remaining games are not much, Chelsea who are ahead cannot say they’ve won the league.
“It is still open, any team among the 20 in the NPFL can become the champion.
“We are working towards our target, and we hope that our target will be met,” Ogunbote said.
