Visitors Remo will be gunning to land another telling blow after their 2-1 win in the reverse fixture ended Sporting's unbeaten start after promotion from the NNL.

But the rookie top-flight side has grown a thick skin since that early setback and now finds themselves slugging it out to beat the drop from 12th in the standings. 

Sporting Lagos has won their last three matches at home.

Both teams will be aiming for a victory that could prove pivotal in their respective journeys and targets this season in the NPFL.

Title Race and Survival Battle
