Shooting Stars Confirm New Date for Rescheduled NPFL Clash With Remo Stars

Shooting Stars have officially announced the new date for their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 13 rescheduled fixture against Remo Stars.

Originally slated for Saturday, November 11, the game will now be played on Wednesday, December 3, at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan.

The Oluyole Warriors head into the rescheduled clash seeking to end their four-game winless streak in the league. In contrast, Remo Stars arrive in good form, currently unbeaten in their last two outings.

Before the highly anticipated Southwest derby, Shooting Stars will host El-Kanemi Warriors in a matchday 15 fixture this Sunday, while Remo Stars travel to Minna for a tough encounter against Niger Tornadoes.

Opinion: A Crucial Test of Character for Shooting Stars — and a Potential Statement Game for Remo Stars

For Shooting Stars, this rescheduled fixture might just be arriving at the perfect—or the worst—time, depending on how you look at it.

On one hand, a four-match winless run usually signals deeper issues: confidence, tactical adjustments, mental fatigue, or simply bad luck. Fans of the Oluyole Warriors have become impatient, hoping the team can rediscover the spark that made Adamasingba a fortress earlier in the season. Having Remo Stars as the next big challenge adds extra pressure, because derbies are not just games—they are statements.

On the other hand, this match could be exactly what Shooting Stars need. Nothing reignites passion and belief like a victory over a major rival. A positive result could reset their momentum and lift the mood across Ibadan.

For Remo Stars, however, the narrative is completely different. They are coming in with confidence and a growing sense of rhythm. An unbeaten run, no matter how short, breeds belief. And with their intelligent midfield play and fast transitional style, they could cause serious problems for a 3SC side searching for stability.

This match is more than a rescheduled fixture—it’s a measuring stick. Are Shooting Stars ready to fight back, or will Remo Stars deepen their rivals’ struggles?

Either way, fans are in for an intense Southwest showdown with plenty at stake.
