Sunshine Stars are the only team without a point on board, while Enyimba lost all three points on opening day to a very late equaliser from...
Defending league champions Rivers United had the best start, as they were the only team to eke out a win on the opening day.The championship is in a round-robin format, so all six teams will face each other once to determine the 2022/23 league winner.
This is not the first time Enyimba have bottled a lead. They did it three times this season. First against Plateau United in Jos, Bendel Insurance in Aba, and Nasarawa United in Jos. Lobi Stars showed with the draw against Bendel that they were the team to stake their claim and win the playoffs. One of their key strengths is their ability to play under pressure, which will be vital against Enyimba, who possesses a counter-pressing striker in Emeka Obioma.Bendel Insurance are undefeated this season, but lately, too many games have ended in draws. During the season, they played 10 draws, and last Saturday’s game made it 11.
One of the biggest games on Monday is Remo Stars versus Rivers United at 4:30 p.m., and the time could see the Onikan venue fill up with workers around the area. Coach Daniel Ogunmodede and his boys had a last-minute grace to share spoils against Enyimba, but Rivers United will be a sterner test.
