Lobi Stars Football Club Makurdi will on Sunday 9th February, 2020 feast on Wikki Tourists Football Club Bauchi to round up the first round of The NPFL 2019/2020 inside the main bowl of Aper Aku Stadium.
Lobi Stars’ good start and title chase has recently been threatened by lost of vital league points that would have placed them far above title rivals Plateau United, having lost 10 out 15 possible points in the last 5 games and still consistently shuttling between the first 2 places on the table speaks volumes.
Pitched against Wikki Tourists in a back to back fixture, Lobi Stars will have to go all out to claim the 3 points at stake and reclaim the top spot on the log. Despite the fact that tantrums have recently been thrown at Lobi Stars from different directions, Wikki Tourists is not and should not be an opponent of threat as all hands are on deck to return Lobi Stars to winning ways by the management and technical crew.
Wikki Tourists is currently placed 14th on the league table with 22 points, from 17 games, while Lobi Stars are placed second on the table with 32 points from 18 games, 10 points clear over and above their opponents Wikki Tourists which in itself is intimidating enough to make Wikki catch cold.
The game provide yet another opportunity for the pride of Benue to take back their first place on the NPFL League table as Plateau United ends 0-0 against Dakkada in Uyo yesterday and stepped up by 1 point that is now separating the first 2 teams.
Lobi Stars with all on and off field efforts have always believe in the God factor, which has been the secret source of their strength. The Executive Vice Chairman of Lobi Stars Mr Mike Idoko once again enjoined the people of Benue, fans and well-wishers of the club to remain prayerful. Mr Idoko express his gratitude to God for how far the club has fared in the league, he therefore call on all fans to come out en-mass and cheer Lobi Stars to victory.
