Four matches to watch this weekend

The first-ever meeting between Sporting Lagos and two-time Nigerian football league champions Kano Pillars is now billed for Monday, with both teams needing restorative victories. The match, originally scheduled for Sunday, was moved to Monday “because of a booking conflict” at the stadium.

Pillars are in fifth place because of their three wins at home and three losses away. Sporting Lagos have eight points from six matches because they dropped points at home against Doma United. They will be keen to turn the Mobolaji Johnson Arena into a fortress, while Pillars will look to earn their first point on the road.

Current Form: Sporting Lagos [L-W-L-D-D]; Kano Pillars [W-L-W-L-W]
