Remo will return to the venue of their last success on MD 7 when they face second bottom Emmydinho. The hosts have proven a porous defence, and face a potent attack that has scored in every game in the league. 

Coach Olumide’s boys arrive top of the table and on a five game winning streak, the longest in the competition. They boast a devastating attack and have proved better at closing games in recent weeks. The hosts on the other hand have failed to defeat any of the teams above them this season, keeping their only clean sheet against basement boys Imperial. However, they can be encouraged that Remo themselves ate prone to the every other day gaffe. The key will be stopping Remo’s brute attack with any of the front three capable of rising to the occasion.

MAN TO WATCH

Akinsamiro Ebenezer (Remo U19)

Akinsamiro is a magician on his day, keeping the team going especially in the final third. His awareness belies his years and is an effective weapon when in possession.

STAT ATTACK

Emmydinho have scored four goals since MD 1. That’s one less than Remo have managed in their last two games. Meagre.
