  NPFL Preview:  MFM FC Host Sunshine Stars In South-West Derby As Plateau Utd Eye First Win By Omolagba Oluwayemi The Nigeria Professional Football League enters week 3 with some exciting fixtures expected to keep fans at the edge of their seats, BSNsports.com.ng reports. At the Soccer Temple Agege Lagos, the Olukoya Boys as fondly called will welcome Owena Waves (Sunshine Stars) for what looks like the biggest game of the round. The last time both sides played in Lagos in the league, MFM FC won 2-0 why the most recent fixtures between both sides ended 1-1 at the Akure Township Stadium. MFM FC currently occupies the 7th place on the log having 3 points from possible 6 and Sunshine Stars are 10th with the same number of points from as many as the same number of games. Veteran coach, Gbenga Ogunbote is expected to use his experience in the league and games like this to help Sunshine Stars gain at least a point on the road against Toni Bulus lads who are just gelling together. At the Lafia Stadium, Nasarawa United will look to continue their wonderful form that has seen them record 100% victory in the league so far. With about 388 kilometers (241 miles) between the city of Lafia and Kano, relatively close weather conditions Kano Pillars should feel like they are playing at home against the league leaders and as such should be able to salvage a favorable result on Sunday. Another team on 6 points, Rivers United will welcome the Harmony Boys to Port Harcourt for a crunchy tie. Kwara United have played only one game this season and that was on the road against one of the league's favorite, Plateau United and they did won the game 2-0. If there's any team one should be weary of welcoming to ones home ground at this period, it should be the Harmony Boys has no one knows much about them. Enyimba will look to put the disappointment of dropping out of the CAF Champions League to the CAF Confederations Cup behind them when they welcome Usman Abd'Allah's Wikki Tourist to the Enyimba Stadium in Aba. Two teams occupying 18th and 19th, Plateau United and Heartland FC will slug it out for the maximum points at the New Jos Stadium in Plateau State. Other fixtures for the weekend; Akwa Utd vs Abia Warriors Katsina Utd vs Adamawa Utd Lobi Stars vs Warri Wolves Ifeanyi Ubah vs Dakkada FC Jigawa Golden Stars vs Rangers Int'l. All fixtures will come up 4pm on Sunday except for the Akwa United vs Abia Warriors match which will come up 4pm today.
