BetGenius backs Ikorodu City or Draw (Double Chance) at 64% confidence — a solid call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Sporting Lagos host Ikorodu City in the second round of the NPFL regular season, with both clubs experiencing contrasting starts to their campaigns.
Sporting Lagos began their season with a 2-0 away defeat against Doma United, leaving them at the foot of the table after matchday one. They will look to regroup on their home turf, having failed to get on the scoresheet in their opening fixture and picking up a red card.
Ikorodu City arrive at this clash on top of the standings following an impressive 3-1 home victory over Ranchers Bees in their opener. Their sharp attacking performance in that match gives them positive momentum as they take on their first away assignment of the season.
