In football, there is this general belief that if the attack is in excellent form but the defence is in shambles, it won’t make much difference. Well, this appears to be true and Plateau United is aware of this fact. This is why they have put a solid defensce in place to always cover up while the strikers manage their businesses upfront.

At present, in the league, it is only 2nd-placed Lobi Stars, 5th-placed MFM and 9th-placed Kano Pillars who have conceded fewer goals. Lobi Stars conceded 4 and MFM conceded 5, although both teams have played one less match. Kano Pillars also conceded 5.

Plateau United, on the other hand, have conceded 6, but looking forward to their goal aggregates, there is no team in the league that has a better goal difference. Plateau United has 10 goals and the closest to them, 2nd-placed Lobi Stars have 8 goals on goal difference.

With such astute and committed defenders like Daniel Itodo, Jimmy Ambrose, Elisha Golbe, Elijah Ogene, Bitrus Wash, Hamisu Saleh, Peter Clinton, Chizoba Amaefule, Gabriel Wassa, Zulkifilu Rabiu and Mike Zaruma watching over their defense, they can go all the way this time around.
