The final round of NWFL Premiership games, before the mid-season break and February transfer window takes place this Wednesday across six centres. The mid-week kicks off with Nasarawa Amazons welcoming Confluence Queens to the Lafia City Stadium, Rivers Angels will host visiting Sunshine Queens, while Naija Ratels will travel south to face Pelican Stars at the U.J Usuene Stadium, Calabar.
Royal Queens Vs FC Robo Queens| Warri Township Stadium, Warri.
Royal Queens welcomes the ‘Lagos Landladies’ to their home ground in Warri. The ‘Canadian Geese’ have only gotten four points in their last five games and lost scandalously to their neighbours Delta Queens on Matchday six at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba.
This would be another big test for Royal Queens Manager, Whyte Ogbonda, who have told www.thenwfl.com that his team have only one choice and that is to win and get the three maximum points.
FC Robo Queens seem to be a good side and have what it takes to give Royal Queens a big fight on Wednesday. Osahon Emmanuel, whose team is presently fourth on the log will be aiming to get placed in third position after the game.

Rivers Angels Vs Sunshine Queens | UNIPORT Sports Complex, Porthacourt.
Rivers Angels welcomes struggling Sunshine Queens to Pitakwa, another name the Oil City, Porthacourt is known for.
Sunshine Queens could only do with a draw last week against visiting Abia Angels at the Ondo State Sports Complex, Akure. A poor result for the ‘Betty Babes’, who will now look forward to face a wounded Rivers Angels, who lost their first game of the season, last week against perennial rivals, Bayelsa Queens.
The ‘New Vision’ Queens have all what it takes to go past their opponent, but would be wary of some dangers the ‘Betty Babes’ can cause them.
A win for Rivers Angels, means they end the mid-season as leaders in group B. A feat they would give their all to achieve. While a win for Sunshine Queens means they will be more comfortable on the standings.

Pelican Stars Vs Naija Ratels | U.J Usuene Stadium, Calabar.
These two clubs have had polar opposite seasons in attack this season. Pelican Stars are the worst team in front of goal this season. The ‘Ayade Ladies’ haven’t scored a single goal in their last five matches and have conceded more than ten goals so far. They are rooted bottom of the Group A standings, while their opponent, Naija Ratels have been very potent Infront of goal.
The home side will show alot of intents from the blast of the whistle and would desperately go in search of their first goal of the season, early on, having lost two of their last two home games against Nasarawa Amazons and Edo Queens respectively. While the away team have picked two points away from home against Edo Queens and Confluence Queens respectively.

Abia Angels picked a point away from home last week in Akure, against Sunshine Queens and have all it takes to get a great result against Delta Queens on Wednesday.
Delta Queens are one of the sides still unbeaten so far in the league and would be willing to put that on the line against a side well tutored by Ann Chiejine.
