Their top scorer and defender, Nelson Abiam, will be another man to watch out for, apart from their reliable goalkeeper Osayi Kingdom.
Doma United, meanwhile, picked up three points from their last two matches played, losing one and winning the last.
On the 15th of January 2023, Yusuf Ibrahim scored a stoppage-time equalizer in Gombe against Doma United to give Sunshine Stars a point in the far north. Charles Chibuike had scored a 39th-minute opener for Doma United; the match ended 1-1.
