There is a lot to fight for when Sporting Lagos and Remo Stars clash later today in the Naija Super 8.
Sporting Lagos and Remo Stars are set to dish the first-ever Southwest derby in Lagos in ages at the impressive Mobolaji Johnson, MJ, Arena, Onikan.
Both sides go head-to-head in the first game of the day in Group A on day five of the Naija Super 8.
Sporting Lagos vs Remo Stars: Intro
The stakes are higher than you expect in this particular encounter, it is not just the battle for points but regional bragging rights.
This becomes even more so after the hilarious social media exchange between Sporting and Remo after the former sealed a historic promotion to the NPFL.
)
The Tech Boys are the latest darlings of Nigeria’s elite division, heck you can call them the beautiful pride at the moment, if you may.
However, after the Ikenne-based Sky Blues accused them of a lack of respect for elders after Sporting Lagos failed to greet them in that funny video to announce their arrival to the NPFL, it is important for Sporting and their fans to know the dangers ahead.

Remo Stars vs Katsina United: What happened the last time i watched Changi Boys
This is a preview of the Naija Super 8 clash between Remo Stars and Katsina United featuring unpublished notes from the last time this writer watched Katsina United play.
Therefore, with that out of the way, here are some Remo Stars dangermen the Tech Boys and their Happy Corner fans must know and be wary of.
Adams Olamilekan, LW
The number 14 has established himself as one of the most important assets for Remo Stars.
Olamilekan is a Nigerian international at the under-20 level and is full of skill and tricky. He enjoys running down the wings and delivering brother Bernard's reels.
)
He is left-footed and dangerous and will surely keep the Sporting Lagos defense busy this afternoon at the MJ Arena, Onikan.

It was a lively match day in the Naija Super 8 as newly promoted duo Katsina United and Sporting Lagos battled NPFL top two sides Enyimba International and Remo Stars.
Nduka Junior
Remo Stars’ skipper, legend and leader. Nduka is not just a brilliant leader for the Sky Blues but a commanding presence at the back for the club.
)
The vocal and tenacious defender is also one of the league’s dangermen from set pieces and Sporting Lagos must be mindful of committing needless fouls around the box.

Junior Lokosa

)
The former NPFL top scorer, Lokosa, was decisive as Remo sealed a history ticket to the CAF Champions League next season in the NPFL.
Isaac James, CF

Sporting Lagos fans came out in their numbers to cheer their team for the first time in the Naija Super 8 but faced strong opposition from the organisers against NPFL champions Enyimba International.
One of the latest additions to the Sky Blues family this summer, Isaac James, has had a perfect start to life with Remo.
)
One goal, one assist and one hero of the game award in two matches are enough to tell you his impact so far for his new club.
Tall and strong, James’ movement should give Sporting Lagos some problems when both sides clash in what is expected to be a pulsating derby match.
