The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season continues to expose defensive frailties, with Sunshine Stars and Lobi Stars conceding the most goals after Matchday 25.
Sunshine Stars FC has the worst defensive record, letting in 35 goals and sitting in 17th place, just above the relegation zone. Lobi Stars FC follows closely with 31 goals conceded, ranking 20th and firmly at the bottom of the league.
Surprisingly, Kano Pillars FC and Niger Tornadoes, ranked 7th and 12th, respectively, have also struggled defensively, conceding 30 goals each despite their mid-table positions.
With just over a third of the season remaining, these teams must tighten their backlines to avoid further struggles. Sunshine Stars and Lobi Stars, in particular, must improve to escape relegation.
