Sunshine Stars are in disturbing form, having won once in their last five NPFL matches. They lost 1-0 away from home to Enyimba last time out, and as a result of their recent disappointing form, the Akure outfits occupy the 13th position with 13 points after 11 games.
Shooting Stars are in better form, as they only lost once in their last five NPFL matches. They were held to a frustrating goalless draw at home against Heartland FC last weekend and will aim to bounce back to winning ways. Shooting Stars are at the 6th position with 18 points after 11 games.
