Remo Stars v Shooting Highlights Return of Midweek Matches
Midweek matches return to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) today with the clash between Remo Stars and Shooting Stars at the Remo Stadium in Ikenne the highlight of the day.
Apart from the clash in Ikenne a potential decider for which team ascends the top of the NPFL it also puts at stake which team has the bragging rights in the South West.
Recent encounters, sometimes laced with bitterness, have been in Remo Stars favour as Shooting Stars are yet to regain their esteem of over three decades ago. Past encounters have skewed in favour of Remo Stars who boast of two wins and four drawn matches.
A win today by Remo Stars take the team to the top of the log, even with an outstanding match against Enyimba.
Victory for Shooting Stars will momentarily shoot the Oluyole Warriors above their eternal rivals Enugu Rangers presently on top of the log. The Flying Antelopes have the opportunity to regain the top if they beat Lobi in Makurdi on Thursday.
A likely draw of Remo Stars and Shooting Stars will see both returning to fight the battle of supremacy when the league gets to the second stanza.
The Match-day 6 also throw up the fixtures of the Uniteds as Akwa United take on Rivers United while Plateau United host Katsina United.
