Coaches’ Background
Yemi Olanrewaju has been making waves with his tactical acumen, while Ogunmodede has earned respect for leading Remo Stars to impressive performances in both domestic and continental competitions.
The match will be a test of Olanrewaju's strategies against Ogunmodede’s experience as they both aim for victory not just for pride but for crucial points in the league standings.
The tactical battle between these two young coaches will be one to watch. Olanrewaju aims to "squeeze" every advantage at home against Ogunmodede, who has been instrumental in Remo's rise in Nigerian football.
The outcome could significantly impact both teams' aspirations for the title this season.
But the key question and talking point is, will Enyimba finally overcome their rivals or Remo will continue their dominance in this fixture?
