It’s now or never for Real Sapphire as they take on Gbagada for a chance to win the league title this weekend.

Since climbing to the summit of the table in November, Coach Dan’s men have not looked back. However, despite leading the league for over four months, one win in their last five games has extended Real Sapphire’s crowning ceremony.

And with Beyond Limits just one point behind them, that ceremony may never hold if they fail to defeat Gbagada in this win-or-bust clash. Their 12 clean sheets this season won’t be enough. Their single defeat this season won’t be enough.

Having defeated Gbagada each time they’ve faced them in the league, can the visitors do it again this weekend?
