Editor’s Pick

Sporting Lagos secured promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) prior to this season and showed early promise as the campaign began.

Unfortunately, things went sour for the Lagos-based club in the later stage of the campaign as they continued to lose games more often than expected.

Sporting Lagos have played 32 league games this season, with 11 wins, 8 draws, and 13 defeats.

They currently hold the 11th position on the league table with 41 points, maintaining a five-point gap from the relegation zone.
