Their adversaries in this high-stakes showdown are none other than NPFL leaders, Rangers International, who will be visiting the Lafia Township Stadium.
This match has already attracted substantial attention from various sports outlets across the country. It’s not just a contest between two teams; it’s a meeting of giants with rich football legacies, both domestically and on the African continent at different junctures.
Lobi Stars’ head coach, Eugene Agagbe, recognizes the importance of clinical precision in all aspects of the game to thwart Fidelis Illechukwu’s formidable squad. The visitors have been impressive so far, with ten goals scored and six conceded in five games, securing ten points and perching atop the league table.
In contrast, the Yes Fathers Boys are positioned sixth on the log with eight points. They’ve netted seven goals while conceding five. To achieve a favorable outcome, Lobi Stars’ defensive unit, led by Moses Tsehuan, must be at their best, focused on neutralizing the attacking trio of Godwin Obaje, Nwaodu Chukwudi, and Kazeem Ogunleye, who have combined to score six goals for the Flying Antelope.

As the defense aims to thwart the visitors, Lobi Stars’ attacking trio, consisting of Samuel Tiza, Adebayo Waheed, and Danbani Alao, must be in prime form to convert opportunities into goals. These talented players will carry the responsibility of breaching the opponent’s defense and putting points on the board.
The good news for the Makurdi-based side is that the squad is in good health, with no reported injuries ahead of this crucial fixture. This is a positive sign, ensuring that Coach Fidelis Illechukwu and his men will approach the match with vigilance, given the impressive performance of Coach Agagbe’s team since the commencement of the season.
It’s also worth noting that last season’s encounters between these teams favored Lobi Stars, who claimed four points. They secured three points in Jos and held Rangers International to a draw at the Awka Township Stadium in Anambra State.
All these factors set the stage for what promises to be a thrilling and highly anticipated showdown at the Lafia Township Stadium. Football enthusiasts will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of this clash between two prominent NPFL teams, and it’s sure to be a fixture to remember.
