Inter Lagos are the only side yet to win a match at home in this season's #EUROMATCHNPFL (D2 L3). Can they end that run today when they play hosts to Ranchers Bees? #INTRNB #NPFL27

📉 SHOOTING STARS’ SEASON SO FAR! 8 games, 8 matchdays, and a tough start for the Oluyole Warriors. With plenty of football still to play, can the Oluyole Warriors turn things around and climb back up the table? How far can Shooting Stars go this season? #NPFL27 #ShootingStars
