MATCH PREVIEW: CLASH OF THE TITANS 2

The INSOLITO football team hosts the PACESETTERS (final year pharmacy class) at the UPTH field on Friday, the 11th of November.

The reverse fixture, which was a couple of weeks ago ended up in a stalemate. The INSOLITO class thought they had gotten the victory when Chiemezie Ibe had  put them ahead early in the first half, but the PACESETTERS had another plan as they equalized in injury time.

On Friday evening, this two sides will lock horns once again in what has been widely tagged as the clash of the titans. The INSOLITO team will be buoyed by their recent emphatic 2 0 victory over the ARD team a few weeks ago. This match promises to be a tough one as the PACESETTERS proved last time, that they could not be written off. So much bragging right is at stake as the PACESETTERS are poised to make a statement here. There are no fresh injury concerns for both teams.        

Expected line up:
We expect the PACESETTERS to name an unchanged side from the side who played out a draw with the INSOLITOs last time. As for the INSOLITO team, we expect Aaron Precious who was absent from the match against ARD to start on Friday. Ubboe Pascal who scored his first goal ever for INSOLITO against the ARD team is expected to retain his place in the starting line up.

Predicted score: 2-1
The match will be a very close one. Expect both sides to score. The PACESETTERS are very resilient , but the abundance of attacking prowess in the INSOLITO team should be enough to see them grab the victory.

Player to watch: Chiemezie Ibe

The PACESETTERS need to devise means to curtail him or the score line could be embarrassing. The young man has scored 2 goals in his last 2 matches for the INSOLITO.
