A day after their major rivals stumbled by dropping valuable points, Remo Stars have been gifted the chance to stretch their lead in the Nigeria Premier Football League as they host Kwara United in their fortress in Ikenne.
This season, only initial rivals, Rivers United have been able to scrape a point out of the 36 obtainable so far in 36 home matches.
That way, Remo Stars have obtained 34 points at home and an overall of 48. A win against Kwara United will take their haul to 51, 10 more than the 41 obtained by their closest rivals, Shooting Stars, and 12 more than the 39 points by third-placed Rivers United.
But it won’t be a stroll in the park for Remo Stars. Kwara United actually truncated Remo Stars’ winning streak after their defeat of Abia Warriors, Sunshine Stars, Kano Pillars and Enugu Rangers in the first stanza of the league.
They were on the verge of getting their fifth consecutive win before Kwara United terminated it.
For Remo Stars, this Thursday’s match is not just a quest to stretch their lead, it is also vengeance-laden.
