2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 3: Winless Lobi Stars target first win, as Finidi George's team seek impressive record

Posted : 20 September 2024

Lobi Stars FC is set to return to the Lafia City Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 21, for an exciting Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 3 clash, aiming to secure their first victory of the 2024/2025 season against a strong Rivers United side.


Following a goalless draw in their season opener against Akwa United, the 'Alia Boys' are eager to get back to winning ways.

 


Rivers United, coming off a solid start with a draw against Bendel Insurance and a commanding 3-1 win over Heartland FC, will bring their full force to face the Pride of Benue.


With their second match against Enyimba shifted to next Wednesday, the 'Shoe Get Size' boys are ready to make the most of this crucial encounter.


Head to head


Both sides have a history of competitive encounters.


In the last four meetings, Rivers United edged out Lobi Stars 2-1 in Port Harcourt during the 2023 Abridged League, but Lobi Stars responded with a 3-2 victory in the return leg at Jos Township Stadium.


The 2023/2024 NPFL season saw a similar exchange, with Rivers United winning 1-0 in Port Harcourt and Lobi Stars claiming a 3-2 win in Lafia.


Key players to watch


Lobi Stars will rely on the experience and defensive solidity of Orji Kalu and Moses Tsehuan, while the offensive threats of Stanley Oganbor and Alao Dabani promise to test Rivers United’s defense.


Christian Madu and Ahmadu Liman will also be crucial in maintaining midfield control and supporting the attack.


With no injury concerns, Lobi Stars are set to give their all in pursuit of a crucial win to lift their spirits and make the Benue faithful, as well as Governor Hyacinth Alia, proud.


All eyes will be on Lafia on Saturday for what promises to be an enthralling NPFL encounter.
