Shooting Stars will look to enhance their title ambitions when they play host to Lobi Stars in their next Nigerian Premier League game. A recent rise sees Shooting Stars head into this game placed sixth, four places behind their visitors. The home team is coming from a 2-1 win over Kano Pillars courtesy of goals from Taiye Murtala and Cristian Pyagbara. That was their fifth win in six matches, just the motivation needed before facing the second placed side. Their run in the last nine matches is only dented by one defeat, a 2-1 away loss to Niger Tornadoes. They won six of the said nine matches but it has been better at home in the recent outings. Shooting Stars have won all their last five home games, keeping straight clean sheets. Only defending champions Enyimba have beaten Shooting Stars at home in their last 10 matches. They’ve conceded three goals only in the last 10 home matches.

In the first leg meeting between these two sides, Lobi Stars claimed a 2-1 win. That was their third win in four matches against Shooting Stars. However, none of those wins came away to Shooting Stars. Lobi Stars actually suffered defeats in their last two matches away to Shooting Stars. The visitors are coming here on the back of an important 1-0 home win over champions Enyimba. That was their first win in four matches and they’ll be looking to build on it. Their major concern will be based on their unimpressive away form. Lobi Stars have no win in the last five away matches. They’ve suffered defeats in seven of their last 10 away matches. A 2-0 win over Kwara United in January is their only away victory in 10 attempts. Lobi Stars actually failed to score in half of their last 10 away matches, all which ended in losses.
