PREVIEW: MD9 – Iganmu v Sporting Lagos FA

Iganmu v Sporting Lagos FA

Friday, November 13th, 2026

Legacy Pitch, Surulere

11AM

Undefeated Sporting Lagos travel to face Iganmu Tiger in the opening game of the ninth round of league games.

This edition of the Lagos derby pits two teams, with contrasting forms, against each other. In the right corner of the ring are the hosts, who are still without a win after their Opening Day triumph at Dannaz. That poor run has now seen them drop to 11th on the log. At the left corner of the ring are the visitors who have drawn five of their eight games this season.

There’s plenty of daylight separating both sides on the table. But derby games can be mostly unpredictable. Form goes out the window and history plays only a minimal role. Will there be a surprise result from this one? Or, will there be more daylight between these two after the final whistle?

STAT ATTACK

Iganmu have lost their last two games against Sporting Lagos

PLAYER TO WATCH
