Superior talent: Flying Eagles star rated higher than Arsenal wonderkid wanted by Nigeria Super Eagles
The talented Flying Eagles invitee has been in fine form for his NPFL club, leading to comparisons with the Arsenal youngster whose international career is a hit topic between England and Nigeria.
Despite being underdogs, Enyimba are in bullish form, boldly declaring on social media, “The Elephants are coming,” signalling their intent to trample Ikorodu’s debut season dreams.
When these two sides met earlier on Matchday 9 in Aba, Enyimba edged out a narrow 2-1 victory, leaving Ikorodu City with a score to settle.
)
Now, with the home advantage, the Oga Boys are primed to turn the tables.
Ikorodu have been a revelation this season, sitting third in the NPFL standings and boasting the second-best home record, 11 wins, one draw, and two losses in 14 matches, scoring an impressive 31 goals.
)
Meanwhile, Enyimba, in seventh place, despite a difficult season, have found their stride with back-to-back wins for the first time in six months and remain a formidable force on the road, with three wins and four draws in 14 away games.
The stats paint a picture of a tight contest. Ikorodu City have won three of their last five matches, with one defeat and a draw, matching Enyimba’s recent form of three wins, one draw, and one loss.
)
This blockbuster encounter has all the makings of a classic, revenge on the line, contrasting styles, and two teams brimming with confidence.
Will Kanu’s Elephants stampede through Lagos, or will the Oga Boys defend their turf and solidify their status as NPFL contenders?
)
Prediction: Likely Winner and Result
While Enyimba’s pedigree and recent resurgence make them a dangerous side, Ikorodu City’s exceptional home form tips the scales in their favour.
The Oga Boys’ attacking ability at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, an average of over 2.2 goals per game at home, suggests they’ll capitalise on their vocal support and familiarity with the pitch.
)
Enyimba’s away record is solid but not impenetrable, and their underdog status might fuel a spirited fightback, yet Ikorodu’s momentum could prove decisive.
Predicted Result: Ikorodu City 2-1 Enyimba
Expect a close, high-energy battle, with Ikorodu edging it late thanks to their home advantage and hunger for revenge.
