|By Babatunji Wusu

Sporting Lagos will face local rivals Inter Lagos in a decisive clash for the Nigeria National League (NNL) title in Ikenne on Friday.

Sporting Lagos surged to the top of the Super Four playoff standings after thrashing Doma United 4-0 on Wednesday.

Jeffrey Buter’s side have now collected six points from two matches, having opened their campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Ranchers Bees.

A draw against Inter Lagos will be enough to secure the NNL title for Sporting Lagos.

Inter Lagos, however, revived their title hopes with a 2-0 win over Ranchers Bees on Wednesday to move back into contention.

While Sporting Lagos lead the standings with six points, Inter Lagos and Doma United have three points each, with Ranchers Bees yet to register a point in the playoffs.
