They have been the giant killers in the tournament so far.
‎
‎Speaking ahead of the Wednesday clash, the captain of Edo Queens Deborah Odiagbe expressed confidence that Abia Angels cannot be a strong hurdle to the progress of  the former WAFU- B  champions.

‎According to her,”Abia Angels shouldn’t be a team to give Edo Queens a sleepless night. However, there will be no complacency, we are going to take them on fire for fire, strength for strength and speed for speed. Victory is the only thing we need”, she enthused.
‎
‎Nasarawa Amazons are the only team that have won their two games. They are  currently topping the Super 6 table with 6 points from two matches, Abia Angels are second with 4 points from two games, Edo Queens are third with 3 points from two  matches while Rivers Angels  sit fourth with 3 points and defending champions Bayelsa Queens occupy fifth position with 3 points.

‎
‎Meanwhile the Executive Chairman,Edo State Sports Commission Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele who has been with  Edo Queens since day one of the competition has charged the girls to go for glory against Abia Angels and in the remaining matches. His presence has in no small way motivated the entire team.
‎
‎In his words of encouragement to the players Tuesday, Enabulele again heaped praises on the players over the 4-1 bashing of FC Robo Queens in Monday’s encounter. He told them to see themselves as champions as they file out against Umuahia girls tomorrow and dictate the pace.
