Remo Stars Assistant Coach Folarin Eyes Vital Win Against Lobi Stars Amidst Rivers United Threat

The Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) title race continues to intensify as Remo Stars’ assistant coach, Sulaiman Folarin, acknowledges the threat posed by Rivers United to their title ambitions.

The Sky Blue Stars currently sit at the top of the NPFL table with 57 points, maintaining an impressive lead. However, Rivers United, who are second with 49 points, are putting relentless pressure on the leaders, especially after securing a crucial away win against Maiduguri over the weekend.

With this in mind, Folarin is fully aware of the importance of their next fixture against Lobi Stars in Enugu. The team knows that to solidify their title chase, they must match Rivers United’s momentum with a victory of their own.

Speaking to the club’s media, Folarin emphasized the significance of their upcoming game, stating:
“We know what is at stake for us. Rivers United got a win away in Maiduguri over the weekend which means we have to win our away game too against Lobi Stars in Enugu. We must work towards achieving victory, and I believe it's very possible.”

Opinion: A True Test of Character for Remo Stars

The challenge before Remo Stars is more than just a football match; it’s a test of their determination, consistency, and ability to handle pressure. Rivers United’s tenacity has made the title race more exciting and unpredictable.

However, if Remo Stars want to emerge as champions, they must exhibit the mentality of a title-winning team by securing results in crucial away fixtures like this one against Lobi Stars. Complacency is a luxury they cannot afford, especially with a formidable contender breathing down their neck.

The football world will be watching to see whether the Sky Blue Stars can maintain their lead or if Rivers United’s pursuit will force a dramatic twist in the title race.
