Dino will make a short trip to Lagos to face Dannaz in what promises to be an exciting contest in the TCC on Saturday morning.
Dannaz lost narrowly to Gbagada on match week one, while the Lions came from a goal down to beat state rivals Imperial 2-1 in Ijebu Ode.
This meeting was an opening fixture last season. It was Dannaz’s debut and they shocked Godwin Gibson’s side at the Dipo Dina Stadium 1-0 to begin their journey in the TCC League.
Since then, fortunes have changed and Dino have been better in recent months. Dino won the TCC Cup last season and finished second behind champions Beyond Limits, while the Cedars finished mid-table in their debut campaign.
It’s the beginning of a new campaign and Dannaz will want to return to winning ways against their visitors on match week two.
Form and pedigree hands the fixture to Dino but having surprised everyone last term, one can’t rule the Lagos side out of contention.

MAN TO WATCH
Hyacinth Ogonna (Dino)
The winger scored one and created the other in the opening game of the season. He’s been excellent for the Lions since his debut in the competition and could be the difference again on Saturday.
