In their last meeting, Enyimba won 2-0. Sporting Lagos will rely on their top scorers and key midfielders to change their fortunes. Enyimba, with a strong squad and experienced players, will aim to control the game and capitalize on any mistakes by Sporting Lagos.

Sporting Lagos is expected to adopt a defensive strategy, looking to counterattack. Enyimba will try to dominate possession and use their experience to break down Sporting Lagos’s defense.

While Sporting Lagos has scored fewer goals and conceded more than Enyimba, the unpredictable nature of football means anything can happen on matchday.
