Actions resumed on Wednesday across different centers for matchday two of the Nigeria Women Football Club (NWFL) as Nasarawa Amazons host Heartland Queens at the Lafia City Stadium.

The Owerri mainstreams thrashed the Oil City of Warri's Royal Queens with four goals to nil in the historic and inaugural game of the season, and the Lafia-based team easily defeated Onome Ebi-led Naija Ratels 3-2 to set up Wednesday's tightly matched matchup.

Coach Ogbala will continue to use the lineups that brought him joy during the four-goal thumping of Royal Queens against the Amazons.

Opara and Onyinyechi Kalu, who scored a goal in the last game, Lucky Mary, the Owerri Landladies' all-time goal scorer, will lead the team when they face Amazons.

Victory for Heartland Queens in Lafia will help them consolidate their firm grip and leadership on the group's log.
