Ikorodu City FC Welcomes League Leaders to Lagos

Posted : 14 December 2024

The 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 17 is set to make history as Ikorodu City FC welcomes Remo Stars FC of Ikenne for their first-ever league meeting.

 

Remo Stars, sitting atop the NPFL table, faces the debutants in a match that is no ordinary fixture—it’s the South West Derby. The last South West Derby saw Ikorodu City FC triumph over Shooting Stars on Matchday 12. Now, the Oga Boys have another opportunity to take on one of Nigeria's top teams in recent years. This is a perfect chance to get back to winning ways after an impressive six-game unbeaten streak, which was halted last weekend.

 

Ikorodu City FC’s preseason consisted of two draws and one victory. However, the stakes are now much higher, and the team is ready to showcase its strength once again on home turf, fueled by the passionate support of their fans. This game is more than just three points; it’s about proving that Ikorodu City FC is ready to compete, defending their home, and reigniting the passion for football in Lagos.

 

Although Nuruden Aweroro's side suffered a 1-0 loss to Bayelsa United last weekend, they remain one of the most in-form teams, with five wins, one draw, and just one loss in their last seven games. Ikorodu City also leads the league in goals scored, with 22 so far. Despite the recent loss, they are determined to quickly regroup and show Remo Stars exactly what they are capable of.

 

The only notable absentee for this match is Kelechi Onwe, who is still recovering from an injury setback. All other players are available for selection.

 

For Remo Stars, there’s a reason they sit at the top of the table after 16 games, which speaks to their strength and quality. Since their promotion in 2021, Remo Stars have dominated the South West, earning the title of regional kings. This makes them a formidable opponent, one that will enter the game with confidence and pride. They are also the third-highest scorers this season, which gives them every reason to remain calm and composed.
