After extending their unbeaten record, the Oga Boys now shift their focus to Match Day 16, where they travel to Yenagoa to face Bayelsa United.

With confidence at an all-time high and their streak on the line, Ikorodu City FC is prepared for the next challenge. As the league’s most in-form team, they know their capabilities, and another strong performance will strengthen their resolve in this marathon season.

The squad will be missing Waliu Ojetoye, currently with the national team, and Kelechi Onwe, whose recovery from injury has faced a minor setback. Aside from these two absences, the coach has a full squad available to select from.

Ikorodu City FC hasn’t lost a game since Match Day 9 in October. Since then, they’ve recorded five wins and a draw, scoring 12 goals and conceding just three—a testament to their growing attacking prowess and defensive solidity. However, the team must remain focused, as complacency has no place in this challenging league.

Although Bayelsa United has managed only two wins in their last seven games, they have shown resilience against tough opponents. Notably, they’ve drawn against strong teams like Enyimba and El-Kanemi Warriors and ended Rivers United’s five-year unbeaten home streak.

In their last home game, Bayelsa United delivered a dominant 4-1 win over Niger Tornadoes on Match Day 14, showcasing their potential to be dangerous on their day. Ikorodu City must bring maximum intensity and energy to overcome this capable side and maintain their unbeaten run.
