Legacy Pitch, Surulere

11am

Sporting Lagos will have their sights on third place when they host Valiant this weekend.

The hosts, with three wins and one draw in their last four games, have been one of the most consistent sides in the league this year. And that consistency has pushed them up to fourth on the log. With three games left to play, Sporting Lagos will be aiming to snatch that spot from Broad City.

While they have plenty of reasons to dream, chief of them is their home record this season. With just one loss in front of their home crowd, they make a formidable opponent for any side in the league. 

However, will that be enough to earn them a win against Valiant? The Brave Boys, unbeaten in their last three on the road, are enjoying their own fine patch of form. Down in 10th, they have their own need for points too as the season draws to an end. Can they become the second side to defeat Sporting Lagos at home this season?

STAT ATTACK

Valiant are unbeaten in their last three away games.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Farouk Alimi (Sporting Lagos)

He has a knack of scoring worldies. The defenders will be hoping he has a bad day at the office.
