The Maliya Boys are in seventh place with 16 points from 11 matches. They have three wins, seven draws, and one defeat. So far, they have scored 13 goals and conceded 10. They are tough to beat, but they have not won in a while. Last Friday, they played a 0-0 draw away to Niger Tornadoes. This season, they have not lost at home and will see Sunday as a chance to move up the table.
The Oluyole Warriors sit in 10th place with 15 points from 11 matches. They have four wins, three draws, and four defeats, which means they are just one point behind Maliya Boys. The team has scored 16 goals and conceded 15. They arrive in better spirits after a 4-1 home win over Abia Warriors last time. This win helped coach Salisu Yusuf, as fans had been calling for his removal. They have earned seven points from their last three league games.
But when they play away, 3SC have struggled this season. They have one draw and four losses in five away matches, scoring five goals and conceding 12. At home, they are unbeaten, with a 4-1 win over Abia Warriors and a 3-1 win over Ranchers Bees among their results.
Looking at history, it favours the visitors. 3SC have won both previous matches against Barau 1-0, including an away win at the same venue last season. This record should give them some confidence.
A win for 3SC would give them their first away victory of the season and take them above Maliya Boys. For the hosts, three points would end their winless run and boost their position in the top half of the table.
