Valiant and Gbagada lock horns in a game between the two bottom teams in TCC League.
Both sides have endured a torrid start to their 2022/2023 TCC campaign, recording only one win between them in a combined first 10 games of the season.
It’s however been worse for the home side as they’re yet to record a win this season. What’s worse is that they’ve conceded the most goals this season, letting in 13 goals. The Valiant attack has not been helpful either, as they’ve only scored a paltry six goals this season.
The Blue Eagles, on the other hand, have only four points more than Valiant. While they have managed one win this season, losses in their last two games have pushed them down to ninth on the log.
Alongside the worrying run of form, failing to score in their last two games will also be of huge concern to Coach Akinyelu. And he will be hoping his boys can bounce back to winning ways against a side that they have not lost against in their last four league meetings.
For the home team, a valiant performance will be required to earn a first win of the season. Against a familiar foe, Coach Owolabi will be hoping for a breakthrough win, one that they can build the rest of their season upon.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Adeyemi Meshark (Valiant)
He has been the bright light in all doom Valiant have suffered so far this season. Having scored four of the six goals his team have managed in five games, he’s the danger man to look out for in this clash.
