Doma United Still Top After NPFL Matchday 4, But Bros IQ Take An L

Ten matches, one weekend, and the NPFL table already looks different from how you left it on Friday. Three games went down on Saturday 19 September 2026, seven more followed on Sunday 20 September 2026, and when the dust settled the weekend gave us 5 home wins, 3 away wins, and 2 draws. No dulling, plenty of small movements at both ends of that table now.

Saturday opened quiet. Ikorodu City and Barau FC shared a 0-0 at Mobolaji Johnson Arena, the kind of game where nobody blinked first. Ikorodu City sit ninth with 5 points from their matches so far, while Barau FC move to second on 8 points, still unbeaten. Over at Muhammadu Dikko Stadium, Katsina United edged Niger Tornadoes 1-0, Katsina now 14th on 4 points and Niger Tornadoes 12th, also on 4. Ranchers Bees then beat Bendel Insurance 2-1, and the two sides sit right next to each other in the table, Ranchers Bees seventh with 6 points, Bendel Insurance eighth, also on 6.

Sunday brought the bulk of the action, and it did not spare anybody. Enyimba lost again, 0-1 at home to Inter Lagos at Enyimba International Stadium, and that result leaves Enyimba bottom of the pile on 0 points while Inter Lagos climb to 3, still 18th but breathing a little easier. Kano Pillars put four past Doma United at Sani Abacha Stadium, winning 4-1, yet Doma United still lead the whole league on 9 points even after that beating, with Kano Pillars themselves sitting third on 7. Kun Khalifat FC shipped four in a 2-4 loss to Enugu Rangers, who move to 7 points and fifth spot while Kun Khalifat stay 19th on 2.

Nasarawa United and Rivers United shared the points in a 1-1 draw at Lafia Township Stadium, Nasarawa 13th on 4 points, Rivers United fourth on 7. Plateau United beat Shooting Stars 3-1 at Rwang Pam Stadium to sit sixth with 7 points, while Shooting Stars stay 15th on 3. Sporting Lagos fell 0-2 to Abia Warriors at Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Sporting Lagos 16th on 3 points and Abia Warriors 10th on 5. Warri Wolves closed the round with a 1-0 win over Kwara United at Warri Township Stadium, Warri Wolves 17th on 3 points, Kwara United 11th on 4.

So where does that leave the top and bottom of the table after matchday 4. Doma United lead with 9 points from 4 matches, goal difference of +2. Barau FC sit second on 8 points, goal difference +4. Kano Pillars and Rivers United are level on 7 points apiece, both carrying a +4 goal difference, occupying third and fourth. After matchday 4, Inter Lagos sit 18th on 3 points with a -4 goal difference, Kun Khalifat FC are 19th on 2 points also at -4, and Enyimba prop up the whole league on 0 points, their goal difference sitting at -4 too.

Now the part Bros IQ no dodge. This record covers every matchday 4 fixture, nothing from this round got rescheduled outside the window, so there’s nowhere to hide behind an asterisk. And the honest number is 0 won, 1 lost out of 1 pick. The call was Over 1.5 goals in Ikorodu City vs Barau FC at Medium confidence, and the match finished Ikorodu City 0 - 0 Barau FC. That’s a clean L, no goals showed up, and the pick is done for. E no easy watching a game that stubborn stay scoreless, but a loss stays a loss. Bros IQ dey write it as it happened, not as e wan happen.
