Kano Pillars secure 19 points in the NPFL season, but away-day struggles hinder their championship ambitions.
Kano Pillars have collected 19 points from their opening 12 matches in the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League, known as the NPFL, but their inability to secure an away victory remains a major concern despite a solid start.
The football club, often called Sai Masu Gida, has recorded four wins, seven draws, and just one defeat, scoring 15 goals and conceding 12 to maintain a positive goal difference of three, according to information published by sports247.
With defensive resilience leading to five clean sheets, the Kano-based side sits in a competitive position, yet the technical crew must address their winless record on the road to sustain their campaign.
Sai Masu Gida Early Season Results
Pillars opened their campaign with a 2-2 draw against Kwara United before registering consecutive victories over Niger Tornadoes and Doma United, showing early signs of their attacking quality.
However, they struggled to maintain that winning momentum, settling for draws against Inter Lagos, Enyimba, Sporting Lagos, and Shooting Stars during a tough stretch of fixtures.
Defensive Setbacks and Recovery
Their only defeat so far came on October 11, when Plateau United handed them a heavy 4-0 loss, exposing defensive weaknesses that had not been as evident in their earlier matches.
The Kano-based side responded with a 1-0 victory over Katsina United before drawing with Warri Wolves, followed by an impressive 2-0 win against Nasarawa United and a draw with Kun Khalifat FC.
Home Strength Versus Away Weakness
