NPFL Match Day 34: Shooting Stars Aim to Assert Dominance Against Struggling Kwara United

Posted : 11 April 2026

All eyes will be on the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan this Sunday as Shooting Stars SC, fondly called the Oluyole Warriors, host Kwara United in a decisive Match Day 34 fixture of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

For the hosts, the encounter presents a prime opportunity to capitalize on home advantage and strengthen their push for a strong finish, with continental qualification still within reach.

Backed by their supporters in Ibadan, Shooting Stars will be determined to turn dominance into maximum points in what promises to be a fiercely contested clash.

Kwara United, known as the Harmony Boys, arrive under pressure as they continue their fight to steer clear of relegation.

Despite the stakes, the Ilorin-based side travels with renewed belief following consecutive victories over Nasarawa United and El-Kanemi Warriors, results that have reignited their survival hopes at a critical stage of the campaign.

The visitors have also been boosted by the return of key personnel. Issa Gata rejoins the squad after attending to personal matters, while Bright Babatunde is back from suspension. Captain AbdulAfeez Musa’s return further strengthens the team’s spine, although the absence of Ini Emmanuel and Seun Ogunribide could pose selection challenges.

Earlier this season, both teams settled for a goalless draw in Ilorin, highlighting how evenly matched they can be. However, with the campaign nearing its climax, there is far more at stake this time around.

Shooting Stars will look to impose themselves early and make their home advantage count, while Kwara United must show resilience and tactical discipline to snatch a valuable result on the road.

With contrasting ambitions driving both sides, Sunday’s showdown in Ibadan is set to deliver intensity, urgency, and possibly defining moments in the race for survival and league positioning.
