Ikorodu City Form Analysis
Ikorodu City have started their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign with an unbeaten run. The Oga Boys kicked off their campaign with an outstanding 3-1 win over newly promoted Ranchers Bees, and then their matchday two match against Sporting Lagos F.C was postponed due to the unavailability of the Mobolaji Johnson Arena (Onikan Stadium), Lagos. On matchday three, the Oga Booys hold Abia Warriors to an away 2-2 draw.
