2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 2: High-riding Remo Stars eye perfect season start against Sunshine in Southwest Derby

Posted : 14 September 2024

Remo Stars FC will, on Sunday, welcome the Akure Gunners, Sunshine Stars FC, to the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State, for the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 2.


The game, which is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., is the first home game and the first Southwest derby that the supporters of Remo Stars will witness in the 2024/25 NPFL season.


Remo Stars defeated the Ochendo Boys 2-0 at the Umuahia Township Stadium in Abia, with Sodiq Ismail and Jide Fatokun giving the Sky Blue Stars a deserved victory in the opening fixture of the new NPFL season.


The Akure Gunners also defeated their opponents, Bayelsa United, 3-0 at their adopted ground, Otuba Dipo Stadium, in Ijebu Ode, which is not far from the home of the Sky Blue Stars.


Last season, both sides held their ground in front of their supporters, with Remo Stars scoring two late goals from Okon Aniekeme in the 90th minute and during regulation time.


In the reverse fixture at the Akure Township Stadium, Chinedu Nwosu also scored twice to defeat Remo Stars 2-1 after Ahmed Akineyele had leveled the score from the penalty spot.


Remo Stars and Sunshine Stars have met nine times, with the Sky Blue Stars winning four times and Sunshine Stars also winning four times, with just one draw between them.


The Sky Blue Stars will welcome two of their former players, Seth Mayi and Achi Nnemeka, while Emmanuel Ofori will not be able to feature for the visitors due to his move to Southwest rivals, Sunshine Stars.


Head Coach of Remo Stars, Daniel Ogunmodede, might make some changes to his side that will face Sunshine Stars due to Malik Jabbar being ruled out of the fixture. Fabian Nworie might also be absent from the matchday squad.


This fixture will be the first outing for Coach Daniel Ogunmodede this season after missing the first game of the season due to national team engagement. Both sides are currently in good form, having won their opening fixtures of the season.
