The Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium is set to erupt on Saturday, 8th March 2025, as Lobi Stars face off against 6th-placed Ikorodu City in a thrilling Nigeria Premier Football League ( NPFL) Matchday 28 encounter.

Coach Muhammad Babaganaru's side has been tirelessly fine-tuning their strategy, seeking to break their winless drought since the start of the second stanza.

A victory against Ikorodu City would be a crucial turning point, ending their winless drought and setting the stage for a season resurgence.

The reverse fixture saw Ikorodu City claim maximum points with a 4-2 victory at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos. Coach Nurudeen Aweroro's side is renowned for their attacking flair, but the coach will caution his team to avoid complacency against the determined Alia Boys, who are eager to leapfrog the red zone.

With renewed vigour, Lobi Stars will seek maximum points at their newly adopted home, driven by courage to escape the relegation zone.

The highly anticipated Cathedral showdown promises to be an electrifying clash when both sides file out as the host play their first home match in Enugu since changing their homeground this week.
