In domestic football, former Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye has tipped Remo Stars as the favorites to win the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title this season.

Currently, Remo Stars sit at the top of the league table with 57 points, holding an eight-point lead over second-placed Rivers United. The Ikenne-based team has finished as runners-up in the past two seasons but is now in a strong position to claim the championship.

With 11 matches left in the season, the Sky Blue Stars face a crucial period. Ideye, who now plays for Enyimba, acknowledged that football can be unpredictable but stressed that the title race is in the hands of Daniel Ogunmodede’s squad.

Additionally, he expressed hope that Enyimba will finish in a position that secures them a place in continental competitions.
