Hamza Abarah and Fatai Osho are set to go head to head for the first time as head coaches of the respective teams in Sunday’s matchday 10 encounter.
Both coaches worked together at Enyimba in the past.
Abarah’s Niger Tornadoes have failed to record a win in their last five games.
Akwa United and Fatai Osho will be going into this game with confidence after recording an impressive victory against Remo Stars last weekend.
The game is billed for the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna.
The encounter promises to be explosive, given the tactical battle between the young tactician.
Niger Tornadoes have recorded two wins, two draws and five defeats in nine games this season.
Akwa United snatched a 1-0 win when both teams met in the same fixture in 2021.
