Remo Stars dominate NPFL with a 2-0 win, extending their lead as they eye the title.

Remo Stars solidified their position at the top of the NPFL table with a commanding 2-0 victory over Kwara United, extending their lead to 10 points. The win propelled Remo Stars to 51 points, while Shooting Stars trails in second place with 41 points. Coach Daniel Ogunmodede is now focused on securing a fifth away win of the season as they prepare to face relegation-threatened Nasarawa United on Wednesday.

Ogunmodede expressed confidence in his team`s ability to capitalize on Nasarawa`s struggles, as the hosts currently sit in the relegation zone with just 27 points. The pressure was palpable during their last match against Kwara United, especially after hearing about Shooting Stars` 2-2 draw with Lobi Stars. However, Remo Stars managed to secure the crucial win, creating a significant gap at the top of the standings.

Historically, Remo Stars have come close to clinching the NPFL title, narrowly missing out on goal difference to Enyimba in 2023 and finishing second behind Rangers International last season. In other NPFL news, Enyimba is set to clash with Shooting Stars in a pivotal match on Tuesday, as both teams aim to keep pace with the league leaders. Enyimba recently faced a surprising elimination from the Federation Cup, losing to Ahudiyannem FC in a penalty shootout.
