Lobi Stars vs Remo Stars: Blunt Attack vs Top Scorers

It’s a crucial day for Lobi Stars and Remo Stars as they go head-to-head in the battle of the stars. 

The Pride of Benue, Lobi Stars have not scored a single goal at the NPFL Super 6

Bottom-of-the-table side Lobi take on Remo in the second match of the day as both teams search for their first win in the NPFL Playoffs. 

The Pride of Benue have lost one and drawn two of their three games so far without scoring a single goal. 

Meanwhile, Remo are the top scorers in the Playoffs with five goals but have drawn all three matches.

Remo Stars have scored five and conceded five goals at the NPFL Super 6

This should be an interesting encounter between two teams, one who cannot score and the other who has conceded in every game so far. 

H2H

Lobi have the edge here with three wins to two, for Remo, in the previous six matches.

But the last time both sides met, it was a comprehensive win for the Sky Blues, who thrashed Lobi 3-1. 

Players to watch out for

Samuel Anakwe, Remo Stars: When these two met, Anakwe netted the third goal of the match. He has also scored in the Playoffs and could prove to be a difference-maker against the same team.

Samuel Anakwe is one player to keep an eye on.

Joseph Atule, Lobi Stars: The talented and sweet-footed left winger remains the only real spark in Lobi Stars’ attack so far.
