Inter Lagos Form Analysis
Inter Lagos have made an early worrying start to their debut Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign, having now suffered back-to-back defeats in their opening two matches. They began their new life with a 2-1 defeat against Shooting Stars at the Lekan Salami Stadium on matchday one.
