Sporting Lagos v Atlantic Business

Sunday, October 9

9AM

Legacy Pitch, National Stadium, Surulere

New Championship entrants Sporting Lagos will begin their TCC campaign against Atlantic Business on Sunday.

This will be the pair’s first ever meeting in the Championship and it promises to be an exciting game for the two teams to begin the new Championship season.

ATL started on a losing note last term and will be hoping for a better start this time around, while SL will be keen on making their memorable one by scoring an outstanding result.

In addition, ATL will want to bank on their experience in the Championship to outfox their hosts at the Legacy Pitch – a playing territory both sides are familiar with.

One thing is clear, fireworks are bound to happen when these two sides clash and it looks balanced, well placed and delicately poised for a grand finish at the end of 90 minutes.

STAT ATTACK

Eight of Atlantic Business’ 18 Championship games last season finished in a draw – most by any team in the Championship. Specialists

MAN TO WATCH 

Sunday Balogun (Atlantic Business)

The lad played a part in the God’s Own Team’s debut campaign in the TCC and was one of their reliable players. He could be the difference in this game for Coach Adiro Olayinka’s side.
