The Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne, Ogun State will come alive on Saturday when two top Nigerian National League (NNL) sides, Beyond Limits and Inter Lagos lock, horn in what is expected to be a top of the table encounter in Conference A of the second tier League.
The match, which will be transmitted live by Toptier Sports Management through her terrestrial network, TX3 Sports, the second week they will be transmitting NNL matches live since signing a partnership agreement with the most important league in the country, is expected to be explosive.
The encounter is unarguably the star match of the week as the two teams are occupying the first and second positions in Conference A and will be gunning to consolidate their positions on the league table.
While Inter Lagos are topping the table with 20 points after 10 matches, Beyond Limits are in the second position with 19 points after playing the same number of matches. This makes the game potentially very interesting.
A win for any of the teams will help them consolidate on their position on the table, while a loss or draw is likely to put pressure on them as Crown FC of Ogbomosho, Smart City of Lagos and Heartland of Owerri are all on 14 points, with ambition to overtake any of them on the log.
The match is also expected to be evenly contested and with the live coverage of the game, there may not be any form of favouritism or poor officiating by the referee who is aware that the whole nation will be watching the game on television.
Although Beyond Limits are known to be solid at home, the transformation brought into the league by the NNL board, which has led to many teams winning on the road, will ensure an interesting game, with the best team smiling home with the three points at stake in Saturday’s encounter.
