Katsina United midfield anchor Azeez Falolu has signaled his team’s determination to bounce back from their recent disappointment as they prepare for a pivotal Nigeria Premier Football League encounter with Kwara United. The “Chanji Boys” are eager to re-establish their momentum following a narrow defeat to the reigning champions, Remo Stars, which brought an end to their impressive four-match undefeated streak. With the squad returning to the familiar surroundings of the Mohammed Dikko Stadium this weekend, the focus has shifted entirely toward securing a positive result to stay competitive in the top half of the standings.
Currently positioned ninth in the NPFL table with a tally of 38 points, Katsina United understands that the margin for error is thinning as the season progresses. Falolu emphasized that the coaching staff and playing body are leaving nothing to chance, engaging in rigorous training sessions to address the tactical lapses observed during their last outing. The upcoming clash against the “Afonja Warriors” is viewed as a vital opportunity to regain their stride and satisfy a home fan base that has come to expect resilient performances this season.
“Every game is crucial now,” Falolu told Sportslighthub. “We’ll prepare thoroughly to secure maximum points.”
The midfielder’s comments reflect a heightened sense of urgency within the dressing room, acknowledging that consistency is the only way to climb further up the league ladder. Despite the setback against Remo Stars, the atmosphere in the Katsina camp remains optimistic, with a collective belief that their previous unbeaten run was no fluke. Falolu’s insistence on “thorough preparations” suggests a tactical blueprint designed to exploit Kwara United’s defensive vulnerabilities while maintaining the solid midfield presence that has characterized Katsina’s play throughout the current campaign.
“Katsina United midfielder Azeez Falolu says the team will push to return to winning ways in their next league game against Kwara United. The Chanji Boys’ four-game unbeaten run was halted by defending champions Remo Stars last weekend. Katsina United will square off with Kwara United at the Mohammed Dikko Stadium this weekend. Falolu said they will make thorough preparations for the game. ‘Every game is crucial now,’ Falolu told Sportslighthub. ‘We’ll prepare thoroughly to secure maximum points.’ Katsina United currently occupy ninth position on the league table with 38 points.”
As matchday approaches, the technical crew is expected to finalize the starting lineup, with Falolu likely to play a central role in disrupting the visitors’ rhythm. A victory this weekend would not only push the club closer to the 40-point milestone but also serve as a definitive statement of intent following their loss to the champions. For the Chanji Boys, the objective is clear: transform the lessons learned from defeat into a dominant home performance that reignites their pursuit of a continental qualification spot.
