The two sides will play in the top flight and try to put to test the players they have recruited for the new campaign expected to have fourteen teams in action.
The warm up clash against the 2012/13 League Champions comes six days after the Wada Queens played against an U13 Selected Side where they won three goals to one.
Coach of Confluence Queens, Baba Anini is looking forward to the tie which is expected to test the preparedness of his team for the task that lies ahead.
''We are taking this match seriously to perfect our strategies for the upcoming season which will soon get underway. We have a pool of players who are ready to perform well on the pitch,'' the coach was
quoted by media officer of the team Ojo Tosin.
''I am looking at the general performance and tactical awareness of my players. The score line against the U13 Boys was what we wanted to show people what we are capable of doing.''
''We closed them down, that is exactly what we want and will continue from where we left off against Nasarawa Amazons on Wednesday,'' the coach who led Confluence Queens to a third place finish in the 2011/12 season added.
Nasarawa Amazons will also use this opportunity to keep their team in shape as they await the start of the NWPL campaign.
The friendly encounter will get underway by 4pm on Wednesday at the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja.
