Sunday, February 13, 2022 at the Aper Aku Stadium will be another day for Lobi Stars as they begin their two matchday fixtures that may shoot them up the ladder as they line up against bottom placed MFM in an NPFL Matchday 12 game.
Unarguably the weeping child of the 2021/2022 NPFL Season, MFM has not demonstrated the capacity to give any opponent a sleepless night, though Lobi Stars may not be having best of times, Coach Eddy Dombraye needs to put his wards in a convincing victory mood to make the best out of the game.
Lobi Stars has recently been a low scoring side which is an issue of concern, a situation that is negatively influencing the unattractive standing on the league table, as such, emphasis and focus should be on improving goal scoring ability of the team. With a deficit of 4 goals, the pride of Benue needs to take full advantage of the MFM crisis situation to better their score sheet.
Lobi Stars sitting 15th on the league table with 13 points from 11 games looks unattractive but with a lot of prospects against a nearly hopeless MFM who are at their lowest and indeed lowest in the current season, only a convincing win by the glory to glory boys will open up their hidden log fortunes.
Comparatively, MFM is and has been an inferior opposition to Lobi Stars all time, with a direct Head to Head of 10 games, Lobi Stars recorded 5 wins 2 draws, leaving MFM with a paltry 3 wins. Their last 5 Head to Head games saw Lobi Stars with 3 wins 1 draw with MFM winning just 1 game. On current form Lobi Stars won 1, drew 2 and lost 2, as low as it looks MFM fared far lower with 4 out of 5 games lost and only managed 1 draw in their last home game.
This game is a moment of definition for Lobi Stars as they need to redeem their goal scoring deficit and reposition themselves on the league table.
