Valiant FC vs. Gbagada FC

Wednesdayy 16th February, 2022

Kick-off: 3:00PM

Venue: Legacy Pitch, National Stadium Surulere

Ninth-placed Valiant takes on second-placed Gbagada. This Matchweek 8 fixture is a clash between two sides who have found a way to bounce back from a slump in form.

For the first time this season, Valiant have climb out of the rock-bottom spot. With two wins in two, they’ve found their rhythm, scoring five in the process.

Gbagada have scored the same amount of goals in the same number of games. However, Coach Akinyelu’s side will be looking to exploit Valiant’s leaky defense as they eye the summit of the Championship table.

For both sides, this one is a game to keep the momentum up. A loss for either one of them means starting from the scratch, yet again. Maybe not so much Gbagada as it will be Valiant.
