Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) is gearing up for the second half of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, currently sitting in third place with 33 points. The club has bolstered its midfield by signing Ephraim Nwachukwu from Osun United, who has already begun training with his new teammates. This strategic move aims to enhance their performance as they prepare for their upcoming match against Kwara United on January 25, 2025.

In recent matchups, Heartland FC and Lobi Stars have showcased competitive encounters. Historical data reveals that Heartland has claimed victory in 7 out of their 14 meetings, while Lobi Stars has won 4, with 3 matches ending in a draw. The average goals per game in these fixtures stands at 1.71, indicating a closely contested rivalry.

The NPFL is currently facing challenges in its international standing, having dropped to 13th among Africa`s football leagues. This decline has resulted in reduced representation in CAF competitions, limiting Nigeria`s participation to the league champions and the winners of the President Federation Cup. Previously, the NPFL had the opportunity to send two teams to both the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.

While the average number of goals scored in the NPFL for the 2024/25 season is not specified, the National League, which operates at a different tier, averages 2.08 goals per match. The National League season typically runs from November to May, contrasting with the NPFL`s schedule.
