Table-topping Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan are set to hold on tight to their lead on the log, as they confront Bayelsa United, sports247.ng can report
The Nigerian National League (NNL) Match Day Seven Group B1 encounter, holds today at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa.
The Oluyole Warriors, who will also be aiming at keeping their unbeaten run intact, go into today’s encounter with a comfortable four points lead over their closest rival Giant Brillars, says Tosin Omojola
When both sides met in the first round in Ibadan, the Stars secured the maximum points via a 3-1 win, a feat the Ibadan soccer lords have vowed to repeat this afternoon, not minding the venue.
This could, however, be described as a tall mountain to climb for the visitors as Bayelsa United, who are seven points adrift of the Stars, remained solid at home having previously beaten Osun United (2-0) and Giant Brillars (4-1).
However, the fact that the coach Edith Agoye tutored lads possess an intimidating away record, having grabbed victories on the road twice, against Giant Brillars in Enugu and Osun United in Osogbo, makes their target a possibility.
Bayelsa United are known for their antics at home, especially against difficult foes, hence the 3SC would be praying for a conducive atmosphere in the stadium, good officiating and favourable weather condition to achieve their aim.
