Nigeria National League Division B Week 6 fixture between Shooting
Stars and Prime FC, pits brothers against one another in a tie promises
to be one of the tightly contested pools on Saturday at the Lekan Salami
Stadium, Ibadan.
The interesting scenario will be the potential match-up of trio
brothers on opposing sides, with Prime Football Club defender, Tope
Akande, facing his siblings with Shooting Stars, Abiodun Akande and Niyi
Akande.
Abiodun is 3SC first choice goalkeeper and stand-in captain, while
Niyi, who has played for Prime in the past is a central defender.
Tope, has been an instant hit since joining the Omoluabi Giants three
seasons ago and he is one of most technically gifted players.
The Akande brothers are set to become first siblings to play against
each other in the 'Two Brothers Derby' and the trio will add a unique
scenario as personal rivalry would add to what already should be an
enthralling clash between 3SC and Prime.
“It's a derby and I think everyone understands that it's going to be a battle,” Tope stated.
