Imperial will lock horns with Gbagada in their first match of the second half of the campaign.
Both sides will be familiar with what is at stake going into this clash.
For the home team, this weekend will be another reminder of what happened a few days back. The Blue Eagles conceded three goals in either half, thereby suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of Imperial.
For the visitors, they’re fresh off a resounding victory over the boys from Gbagada. Scoring six goals is enough to boost any morale and is enough to keep the motivation levels high. However, they will also know that they face a wounded eagle that will be looking for every opportunity to strike.
For Coach Akinyelu, revenge will be on the cards as they hope to inflict pain on the visitors. They will also be hoping to make their home advantage count when both sides face each other this weekend.
STAT ATTACK
Imperial’s 26 goals scored in nine matches is the most any team managed in the first half of the league season.
FORM
Gbagada FC – LWLLL
Imperial – DLDLW
PLAYER TO WATCH
Bilyaminu Abdullahi
He banged in four goals last weekend. Up against the same opponents, he will be smacking his tongue and looking forward to feasting on a delicacy of eagles once again.
