Warri Wolves plot upset against Inter Lagos

Warri Wolves FC is aiming for victory against their host, Inter Lagos FC, today at the Mobolaji Johnson Sports Ground, Onikan, to brighten their chances of securing a ticket to the elite Premier League at the end of this season.

The Seasiders, as Warri Wolves are fondly called, are currently in the sixth position on the table, a performance the players and their officials are not happy about.

With the team’s financial problem resolved by the state government, the players want to use today’s game in Lagos to launch themselves back as one of the contenders for the title.

Warri Wolves setback began just before the Christmas break, when they lost at home to visiting Giant Brilliars FC at Kwale Stadium. Some of the players blamed that defeat on the poor financial stand of the club at then.

An official of the club, who spoke with The Guardian, yesterday, stated that their aim today is to secure all three points against their host, Inter Lagos FC.

“We are in Lagos with the aim of getting all three points at stake. We need the points to make up for what we have lost in recent times,” the official stated.

Warri Wolves next match will be against Gateway FC on January 28 at the Kwale Stadium, and on February 3, they will confront Trade Safe FC in Lagos. The first round of the Nigeria National League (NNL) will end on February 17.
