After four keenly contested matchday’s, the 2022/2023 NPFL Super Six Championship Playoffs hits judgement day. SportsRation presents a preview of day five.
LOBI STARS VS SUNSHINE STARS
Matchday five of the 2022/2023 Nigeria Premier Football League Season starts with a dead rubber game between two dimmed stars.
Lobi Stars and Sunshine Stars are the bottom placed teams and will fight for pride on the last day.
Both teams have secured two points from four games and will play for the pride of not finishing bottom of the standings.
Match Details
– Kick-off is 2pm
– Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan Lagos State

REMO STARS VS BENDEL INSURANCE
The second game of judgement day in the 2022/2023 Nigeria Premier Football League season pitches Remo Stars vs Bendel Insurance.
As it stands, Remo Stars could still be crowned Champions if they defeat Bendel Insurance FC with a healthy margin and Enyimba FC and Rivers United FC share the spoils in the last game.
On their part, Bendel Insurance FC will look to bounce back from the dissapointing 2-1 loss to Rivers United FC on day four with a win of at least three goal margin, to take a CAF Confederation Cup spot.
A draw will see Remo Stars finish in third place, enough to bag a place in the CAF Confederation Cup for a second season in a row.
Match Details
– Kickoff is 4:30pm
– Venue is the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan Lagos State.

It’s a title challenge between 1st placed Enyimba FC vs Rivers United FC who are second placed in the last match.
Both teams are tied on 8-points with Enyimba International FC sitting top of the log courtesy of their superior goal difference.
The winner of this NPFL Super Six playoffs ‘final game’ will be crowned Champions for the 2022/2023 season, while a draw will see Enyimba FC take the title from current holders Rivers United FC.
A befitting final game to a hitch-free season, a must-watch.
