Sporting Lagos face Enyimba
Back home in Lagos following that stellar display in the NNL playoffs, the Tech boys will take to the Mobolaji Johnson, MJ, Arena, their home turf, for the first time in a big clash against NPFL giants Enyimba.
The People’s Elephant is the current football league champion in Nigeria after an unbeaten run to the title, their ninth, in the NPFL Super 6 last season.
However, Enyimba kicked off its Naija Super 8 campaign on a shaky note after a 2-1 defeat against nemesis Remo Stars.
So, while Sporting is still celebrating and raring to put their NPFL credential to test against the current holders, the Aba Millionaires are looking to prey on their naievty to kick start their Naija Super 8 with a win.
