Imperial will entertain bottom side Valiant FC in a match week three game in the TCC League on Sunday.

Imperial, who have turned the corner since their disastrous campaign in the maiden edition of the league, were impressive last term and are looking for some consolidation.

Valiant, on the other hand, are now a shadow of themselves after the 20/21 season when they finished second behind Beyond Limits. 

The home side got their first win of the season against Broad City last weekend and will be hoping for another one in their second successive home fixture.

However, the Brave Boys are an opposition with an excellent record against Imperial. In their past four meetings in the TCC League, Valiant have won three to Imperial’s solitary win.

A lot has changed in terms of playing personnel during the off-season and with Valiant without a goal after 180 minutes of football this term, hands Imperial the advantage going into Sunday’s clash.

STAT ATTACK

None of the past four meetings between the two sides has ended in a draw. Two-way

MAN TO WATCH 

Bilyaminu Abdullahi (Imperial) 

The reigning TCC player of the year scored in the opening weekend and was good against Broad City last time out. Eyes should be on him.
