    The Agege stadium, Lagos, home ground to The Olukoya Boys will play host to what is expected to be a cracking encounter.
    Lagos: Mega City In Need Of A Mega Football Club

    Both teams are in dire need of  a vital win in this match can offer; albeit for two different purposes.

    MFM FC who had a noteworthy start to this season until last week, had
    faith of retaining topflight football in their own hands. Being only able to grab a consolatery goal in a 1-3 loss to Niger Tornadoes at the confluence stadium Lokoja; they placed their survival hopes
    walking on a very tight rope.


    A win in that match and another on the
    #NPFLFinalDay against the Anambra Warriors would have confirmed a spot
    for them in the NPFL irrespective of outcomes from other fixtures.
    Unfortunately, their attention on the #NPFLFinalDay will be split into
    three.

    They must win against FC Ifeanyi Ubah and keep tabs with happenings at the Rwang Pang stadium, Jos and the Warri City Stadium. For them to remain in the NPFL next season, their fellow relegation battlers Heartland FC and Warri Wolves must have a negative result.

    On the other hand, FC Ifeanyi Ubah already enjoying national fanfare  due to their fantastic exploit this season has had a fairytale season. The sit closer to the top of the league standings and are still in contention for an FA cup title.

    Backed by their billionaire proprietor, Chief Ifeanyi Ubah, they sit 3rd with 56points, one point below Rivers Utd who are 2nd on the NPFL log. A win for the Anambra Warriors against the Olukoya Boys and anything short of victory for Rivers United who square up against Akwa United in Uyo, will hand
    FC IfeanyiUbah one of the two Caf Champions League tickets up for
    grabs, the other already earned by Enugu Rangers Int'l Fc who are league champions in the waiting.

    The Anabra Warriors go into this encounter in high spirits having secured oriental bragging rights with
    a sweet victory last week against outgoing champions, Enyimba Int'l
    FC.

    The only thing shadowing the explosiveness this match promises to be is the 32year jinx in line to be broken by The Flying Antelopes if they win the league title on Sunday in Enugu
