Form Guide

Shooting Stars have shown flashes of promise, but results have remained elusive. Aweroro’s side has drawn twice and lost twice, leaving fans eager for a turnaround. On home soil, however, the expectation is clear: win and build momentum.

Kun Khalifat, enjoying their debut NPFL campaign, arrive with confidence after recording their first-ever top-flight victory. Young, hungry, and unpredictable, they represent a dangerous test for the Oluyole Warriors.

Injuries have complicated selection, but training this week brought encouraging signs. Mustapha Lawal (Black Spider), Kabir Tijani, and Agba’a Adams rejoined the squad after absences, while Qamar Adegoke and Sodiq Ibrahim are also pushing for inclusion.

Desmond Ojietefian and Joshua Akpan remain sidelined, while Alex Aghahowa is still working towards full fitness.

Godgift Elkanah, impressive in goal last time out, is available to continue between the sticks. Captain Ghali Falke anchors the defense, while Ayobami Junior is expected to dictate play in midfield. In attack, Aweroro has options, with Awosanmi Promise, Chidiebere Nnachi, Wasiu, and Ismail Ayodele all vying to provide the goals that have so far been hard to come by.

The visitors are beginning to build a reputation for resilience. Goalkeeper Daniel Ifeanyichukwu has been solid, while midfielders Chikamso Amaefula and Anderson Onyedika add energy and composure. Up front, Ebuka Nwokorie and Henry Ezeonye have the pace and power to trouble any backline if given space.

Key Areas to Watch

• Defensive Focus: Shooting Stars must stay alert against Kun Khalifat’s quick forwards.

• Midfield Battle: Ayobami and Azeez vs Amaefula and Onyedika could decide the game’s rhythm.

• Finishing: For 3SC, taking chances will be key to restoring belief and confidence in front of their fans.

Outlook

For Shooting Stars, this fixture carries extra weight: a chance to break the winless streak and calm nerves both inside and outside the camp. For Kun Khalifat, Adamasingba represents another opportunity to prove they belong at this level.

Expect a fiery, competitive encounter, with the Oluyole Warriors determined to make home advantage count.
