After starting the season with so much noise about doing well in the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, it is now a battle to survive in the elite league as Sporting Lagos FC is now facing a possible trip back to the lower league.
The NPFL Match Day 35 will be a battle for survival between Bayelsa United and Sporting Lagos as both teams find themselves in the red zone on the table.
With the Tech Boys who were promoted to the NPFL this season, they have not been inspiring, and their position in the league looks unrealistic.
For Sporting Lagos FC, their sole aim will be to grab at least a point away at Yenagoa to give them a little breathing space to survive the relegation battle.
Although Sporting Lagos started a little brightly, their uninspiring performance since the start of the second half of the season has led to their fans losing patience, especially after the last NPFL Match Day 34, which ended in a 1-1 home draw against table-toppers Rangers Int'l.
Bayelsa United can take some confidence from their last home victory over Plateau United.
Bayelsa United and Sporting Lagos are tied on points with 42 each, with goal difference separating the two teams on the table. They both have the same number of wins, draws, and losses.
Both teams have played 34 games with 11 wins, 8 draws, and 14 losses, but the Tech Boys have a goal difference of -4 while Bayelsa United FC have a goal difference of -7.
Head to head:
The two teams have only played one game together in the league, which ended in a draw.
