The 3SC of Ibadan, currently in strong form, is eager to extend its winning streak as it prepares to host Kwara United, also known as the Afonja Warriors.
Current Form
Under the guidance of Coach Gbenga Ogundote, Shooting Stars have showcased their competitiveness, accumulating 30 points over the past four matches. This impressive performance has propelled them to third place on the league table, just three points behind the league leaders, Remo Stars and Rivers United, while maintaining a two-point cushion over Rangers.
Shooting Stars have broken free from past away performance issues, recently securing victories against Rangers and Sunshine Stars in their last outings. This positive trend bodes well as they prepare for the matchup against Kwara United.
Kwara United’s Challenges
Meanwhile, Kwara United is looking to build on its recent success, having triumphed over Katsina United via a penalty shootout in the eighty-seventh minute. However, they face significant challenges; the Afonja Warriors have managed only one win away from home and have historically struggled defensively, conceding a higher number of goals in away matches.
Head-to-Head
Historically, Kwara United has struggled against Shooting Stars. Since 2011, the Afonja Warriors have suffered five defeats and recorded two draws in their encounters with Shooting Stars. This trend highlights the uphill battle they face as they aim for a positive result in this match.
As both teams prepare for this crucial encounter, the stakes are high, and fans can expect an exciting showdown at the Lekan Salami Stadium!
