Sporting Lagos and Remo Stars will play today in another Nigerian soccer league match.
Sporting Lagos, in the current season of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), holds the 14th position, amassing 28 points after 23 rounds. Following a prolonged sequence of 8 matches without a win starting in December, the team managed to demonstrate significant progress by securing 3 victories in their last 5 matches. This surge in form has enabled Sporting Lagos to escape the relegation zone and claim a spot in the middle of the league table, marking a significant achievement amidst fierce competition. The team is just 3 points clear of the drop zone.
In their recent fixtures, Sporting Lagos has shown improved results: a loss to Gombe by a scoreline of 0-2 was the sole setback in the past month. Prior victories included narrow wins against Bendel and Rivers United, each by 1-0, followed by a win over Akwa with a 2-1 scoreline and a crucial away draw against Domains United. Sporting Lagos has recorded 7 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses this season, with a goal difference of 20:23, accumulating a total of 28 points.
Remo Stars, following an unsuccessful streak of two defeats in their last five matches, relinquished their league lead after a brief period at the top. Nevertheless, a recent 1-0 victory against Bayelsa United helped the team to narrow the gap to the league leader, Lobby Stars, to three points, with a tally of 39 points after 22 rounds. Remo Stars' recent performances have been mixed: a victory over Bayelsa United on 1st March, a 0-1 defeat to Enugu on 28th February, a goalless draw with Abia Warriors on 18th February, a 2-1 win over Abia Warriors on 21st January, and a 0-2 loss to Katsina United on 15th January. Currently, Remo Stars boasts 12 wins, 3 draws, 7 losses, and a goal differential of 28:18, totalling 39 points.
In their only meeting of the first round, Remo Stars triumphed with a score of 2-1, coming from behind.
With the league's newcomer not facing defeat at home in the last 16 consecutive matches, including 12 victories, I anticipate another win against one of the league leaders currently in unstable form.
