It’s time for the maiden Creative Championship Cup which will feature all eight clubs in the league. Drawn against each other, Ijebu United will have to find a way past Dino SC in the first leg of their cup encounter, with a semi-final ticket at stake.
Since their loss to Remo Stars U19, Dino SC have managed an unbeaten run, a run which featured a win over Ijebu United at home.
Now the tables have been turned for this cup fixture. Ijebu United will have the home advantage heading into this clash. And they have managed to go unbeaten in their last two games.
But cup games and league form don’t mix.
That’s why this game is one to look out for because anything can happen. With the added advantage of a return leg, both coaches will be looking to finish things off in the first leg, to avoid unnecessary drama in the second.
FORM
Ijebu United: LWLWD
Dino SC: DLWWD
MAN TO WATCH
