The stakes would be high on Sunday as Super Eagles gaffer, Gernot Rohr, is expected to be in the stands to watch the match between MFM FC and El-Kanemi Warriors in Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the match between the Nigeria Professional Football League title hopefuls will be played at the Agege Stadium in one of the biggest fixtures of matchday 18.
MFM FC, who lost 4-0 to Nasarawa United in their mid-week fixture in Lafia, will be looking to maintain their impressive winning streak against El-Kanemi Warriors.
It was the second time they had conceded four goals this season.
On their part, the Maiduguri warriors are yet to record a win or grab a point, away from home this term.
Rohr’s eyes is sure to be glued especially on the league’s top scorer, Stephen Odey, who has scored in every game at the ‘Soccer Temple’ so far this season.
This fixture will be particularly exciting as Odey, who has scored 13 goals, could set a new record in the NPFL if he bags a brace in his 15th appearance.
Also El-Kanemi Warriors could also go top of the log for the first time if they manage to nick this one.
