Still basking in the euphoria of their victory over Heartland FC on Matchday 21, Lobi Stars Football Club of Makurdi arrived in Akure on Monday in good spirits to face Sunshine Stars of Akure in an all-Stars affair on Match Day 22 at Akure Township Stadium, Ondo State.
Head Coach of Lobi Stars, Eugene Agagbe, will be looking forward to guiding his players with the necessary instructions that would help them achieve the desired goal as they step into tomorrow's tie.
The table-toppers must be brave and clinical in front of the goalpost tomorrow to brighten their chances of a good result when they face 17th-placed Sunshine Stars, a match that will be televised live on Startimes with kickoff slated for 3:00 pm.
The last three meetings between these two NPFL giants have seen the "Yes Father" boys win twice while the Akure Club won once.
In the 2023 Abridge league, Lobi Stars won 1-0 in their adopted home in Jos, while Sunshine Stars also won 1-0 in the reverse fixture in Akure.
The Pride of Benue also defeated the Southwestern team 3-2 in Lafia in the first leg of the NPFL 2023/2024 season.
The trio of Suur Kumaga, Abubakar Aliyu, Moses Tsehuan Stanley Oganbor, and Abubakar Aliyu have combined to produce great results for the "Shoe Gets Size" to stay firm on the log; they are available and focused.
Head coach of the Akure side, Kennedy Boboye, who will be in charge of his third game since taking over the hot seat, would be hoping for Promise Awosanmi, Solomon David, Ibrahim Yusuf, and Emmanuel Isaac to approach the big tie with caution to curtail the brave visitors.
There are no injuries in the camp of the "Yes Father" boys as the players are fit and focused.
The Pride of Benue will take the field tomorrow with the needed zeal, keeping an eye on a good result.
