NPFL: Sporting Lagos target victory over Enyimba to boost survival chances
By Wale Mustapha
Sporting Lagos are aiming for a convincing victory when they take on Enyimba in Matchday 37 of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) on Sunday.
The Noisy Lagosians are aware that anything short of a win would jeopardize their chances of staying in the NPFL.
Currently, Abdullahi Biffo-led side is 17th on the log with 43 points from 37 games as the match at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos will kick off at 4 PM, and the club is assuring their fans of a positive outcome.
“For the first time this season, we lost at home. Wednesday was tough. Two goals conceded in the first half, and a second half of ruined chances summed up a frustrating midweek fixture,” Sporting Lagos wrote on X.
“And it wasn’t just the loss at home that made that result so disappointing, it’s what it could mean for our debut NPFL season.
“With two games to go, we face the danger of relegation. But it’s not over. Tomorrow, we play our final home game of the season. We play against the defending champions. We play for our survival.
“We’ve never played a more important game. Results in other games can very swiftly change things in our favor as long as we do our job.”
