2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 35: History beckons as Remo Stars eye first silverware in Ikenne

Posted : 27 April 2025

Top-of-the-table Remo Stars will be looking to take another giant stride toward their first-ever NPFL title as they welcome Niger Tornadoes to Ikenne.


With eyes on victory after the slip-up by second-placed Rivers United in Kano, the league title could be sealed sooner than expected on Sunday.


Remo has been the most consistent side this season and boasts one of the best home records. Tornadoes have shown they can be tricky on the road, but stopping Remo in Ikenne is a tall order.


History seems set to repeat itself. It was Niger Tornadoes that Remo Stars beat on July 17, 2022, to earn their first-ever continental ticket to feature in the following season’s CAF Confederation Cup.


Niger Tornadoes may once again be Remo Stars’ launchpad to the league title. What a season it has been for the club that has led the Nigerian league for the longest duration.


The Sky Blue Stars have been leading all the way into Christmas 2024. They were leaders at the end of 2024 and continued as leaders into 2025 after becoming the first club to achieve a double by beating Akwa United both home and away.


No team won more away matches than Remo Stars this season. They won five matches away from home. At home, they won 15 of their 17 matches, making Ikenne a fortress. Only Rivers United and Katsina United, who drew their matches, escaped defeat in Ikenne.


With 20 wins, no team has won more matches this season than Remo Stars.


With the title almost decided and the runners-up awaiting confirmation, the battle zone is for third place, where seven teams are in contention.


Coach Mohammed Majin, however, believes his side can pull off an upset, but it will take something special.
