MATCH PREVIEW
Shooting Stars SC vs Kwara United
We return to home turf this weekend as we host Kwara United in a crucial Matchday 34 clash at the Lekan Salami Stadium. It’s a compelling fixture, one side pushing for a continental spot, the other fighting to avoid the drop. With the season entering its decisive phase, every point is vital for both teams.
The reverse fixture in Ilorin ended goalless, setting the tone for another tightly contested encounter in Ibadan.
Form & Momentum
We head into this game looking to bounce back from a narrow 1–0 defeat to Remo Stars on Matchday 33. Despite a strong showing in Ikenne, attention now shifts to Adamasingba, where we aim to deliver for our home fans and secure maximum points.
The top six remains tightly packed. On 50 points, we are two points off the continental spots and five behind the leaders, with six games left. Every match counts.
Kwara United arrive as a side battling for survival. Currently 18th with 39 points, the Harmony Boys, reigning Federation Cup champions, come in with confidence after a 3–0 win over El-Kanemi Warriors. Known for their compact shape and quick transitions, they will look to make this another tough contest.
