Sporting Lagos host 3SC
The newly promoted side will host their more illustrious visitors at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan Stadium, in a rescheduled week 18 encounter.
Ahead of the all-important home match, the Tech Boys have taken steps by throwing open the gates and letting fans in for free for the do-or-die clash at Onikan.
That feeling when you know that Sporting Lagos returns to Onikan in 5 days," the club stated in a statement. "Attendance is free, but registration is compulsory," Sporting added.
Sporting sit deep inside relegation waters on the NPFL standings after a terrible run of five matches without a victory in the Football League.
Coach Paul Offor and his IT Boys welcome Shooting Stars to their home, knowing that another defeat, this time against a regional rival, would leave them more stranded and in deeper waters of trouble than they currently are.
After 17 matches in their first-ever season in the Nigerian top flight, Sporting have managed just four wins, with seven defeats.
This leaves them 18th on the table, with 17 points - an average of one point per game in the NPFL.
A win against Oluyole Warriors, managed by Gbenga Ogunbote, the Oracle, would be the first win for the Tech Boys since a narrow win against Katsina United on December 3, 2023.
