The LMC have ordered the last two Matchday fixtures of the NPFL 2021-22 season (MD 37&38) to be played simultaneously to be devoid of match-fixing with the topflight league season at the home stretch.

The league’s body has fixed Sunday, July 10th and 17th for the final two matchdays with the games expected to commence by 4 pm across all centres to ensure that fairness takes precedence in those games.

The league body in a press release sent to the clubs and the media says the decision is in pursuance of its stand on fair play and equity for a seamless season conclusion.

Rivers United have already won the league title with three games to spare and have amassed the highest number of points accrued by the champions with 74 points while Plateau United have already captured the second spot with 64 points.

However, the race for the third spot is still very intense with Remo Stars, Kwara United, Enugu Rangers and Enyimba among the frontrunners for the position.

While the battle for the relegation spots is expected to go down the wire with MFM the only that have been confirmed relegated.
