Legacy Pitch, National Stadium, Surulere

Broad City and Valiant will lock horns in Lagos on the opening match week of the new TCC season.

Both sides met a few times last season and it ended in home wins for either side. This season opener could continue the trend or see a disruption as both clubs hustle for the available three points.

This is BRC’s second campaign in the TCC, while Valiant have played the previous two editions. For the former last season, it was more of getting used to the terrain in the TCC, while the latter were surprisingly not at their usual best.

Valiant kept a clean sheet in their last meeting, which was unusual but being a new season, many different things might be on the cards once again.

A fresh campaign, fresh desire, fresh players and new motivation to begin with the best possible result will be at the heart of both managers.

STAT ATTACK

MAN TO WATCH 

Sixtus Elegalam (Valiant)

The attacking midfielder was a prominent figure in his side’s team last term. His performances earned him a place in the team of the season and he could use this game to announce his return for the new season.
