The Makurdi based outfit head into this fixture against their visitors having recorded two draws away and a win at home, to place seventh in the NPFL table with five points.

Speaking ahead of the game, forward Tiza Samuel has hinted that the team’s target is to win as the players are working tirelessly to achieve the goal.
Samuel who has scored twice in three NPFL matches this season, also assured that the players are fired up to improve on their impressive start to the season.
“It has been a good start for me and Lobi Stars as a team,” he told the club’s media.
