Sunshine Stars vs Ikorodu City FC Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

On Saturday, Sunshine Stars will face off against Ikorodu City in the South West Derby at the Remo Stars Stadium. The Akure Gunners have lost just twice at home in over two seasons but will be at a disadvantage in this fixture as the game will take place in the neighbouring city. 

Sunshine Stars (16th)

Last five games: LDLWL

Akure Gunners suffered their tenth defeat of the season, conceding once against Ikorodu City on the road—a devastating loss marred by a poor defensive display. Sunshine Stars were the best team on the road but were denied a clear penalty against their opponent. Akure Gunners, who were hoping to secure a back-to-back win, bowed to a late (2-1) loss against their rivals. This was after their (1-0) victory over El Kanemi on their home ground. 

Sunshine Stars have won six, drawn three, and lost two games this season. They have picked up twenty-one points from a combined fifty-seven, scoring thirteen and conceding twenty-two.

Sunshine Stars won five, lost once, and drew twice over their last nine home games. 

Ikorodu City (6th)

Last five games: WLDLW

Nurudeen Aweroro's men, who had struggled before, returned to winning ways after their emphatic victory over rival Sunshine Stars. The Lagos-based team who scored in the 43rd minute conceded with seconds before the first half. They began the second half a bit slower but managed to secure the maximum points when Rivivo scored from the penalty kick in the 98th minute. 

Ikorodu City have been below par in recent weeks, as the victory ended their three games without a win in the league. 

The Lagos-based team and newly promoted Ikorodu City are gradually adapting to their new environment as they sit in the sixth spot on the log. They have won once, lost five, and drawn three times over their previous nine away matches.

The reverse leg ended in a (2-1) victory for Ikorodu City who labored for the maximum points. Sunshine Stars were pretty decent in that game and could have at least secured a point.

Sunshine Stars have struggled at home lately, as they have been playing most of their home games in the neighboring town, which hasn’t been helpful.
