Remo Stars vs Sporting Lagos Prediction: The Sky Blue Boys won’t lose at home

On Sunday, Remo Stars will face off against Sporting Lagos at the Remo Stadium. This new school Southwest derby promises to be intriguing as both sides come into this game in high spirits.

The Sky Blue Stars commenced the season with a (2-1) victory over Enugu Rangers at home. The result was followed by a deserving (2-0) loss on the road against Bendel Insurance, as Remo Stars failed to utilise their chances. Matchday three ended in a (1-2) victory on the road over Bayelsa United. The result was their first away win this season as Remo Stars made up for their poor performance on the road to Bendel Insurance.

The Ogun state-based team had a tremendous season when they finished in the third spot last campaign.

Remo Stars are unbeaten in their previous twelve meetings on their ground.

The Noisy Lagosians adapted perfectly to their new environment after defeating Gombe United (2-0) in Lagos and sharing the spoils on the road to Akwa United. Recently, Sporting Lagos were not able to penetrate their opponent's defence as both sides settled for a share of the spoils. The home side, who had 63% of the ball, have now gone two games without a win, and it’s a massive concern against a strong Remo Stars side.

Their young and energetic team have shown they are up to the task, but coach Shola needs to be tactically inclined to get anything away from this game.

Remo Stars have been solid at home in recent games and have not lost a Southwest Derby at home since last season. On the other hand, Sporting Lagos have been solid defensively but lack bites in front of goals. Both sides have two of the youngest coaches in the league, with excellent tactical skills. However, the Sky Blues Stars are expected to win here as their opponent lack the pedigree in this derby. We expect Remo Stars to win and score more than once for 1.85.

Remo Stars might even get a halftime victory for 2.07.

We expect this encounter to produce more than two goals for 2.40.

Good luck!
