Currently, at the top of the table, Remo Stars hope to cement their position while their opponents will be banking on the support of their home fans for the maximum points that will take them above the visitors. Enyimba currently occupies the third position on the log, three points behind their weekend opponent.
Bayelsa United will be banking on the performance of Ikorodu City against Rivers United last weekend when they inflicted a first defeat of the season to the Finidi George-led team as they seek to also end the Pride of Rivers’ unbeaten run at home.
