Ojo Olorunleke Backs Enyimba to Defeat Shooting Stars in NPFL Clash

Former Enyimba goalkeeper, Ojo Olorunleke, has thrown his full support behind his former club ahead of their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 26 encounter against Shooting Stars.

The People’s Elephant will lock horns with Shooting Stars today at the Enyimba International Stadium, and Olorunleke has already predicted a victory for his old team.

"It’s a Win Already" – Olorunleke Confident in Enyimba

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the Super Eagles shot-stopper shared his excitement and faith in Enyimba, writing:

"It’s a win already, my people. Our blue is thicker."

His post was accompanied by an elephant illustration, symbolizing Enyimba’s dominant presence in Nigerian football.

Olorunleke was in goal for Enyimba during their 1-0 win over Shooting Stars in the same fixture last season, and he remains optimistic that his former side will replicate that result.

Enyimba’s Recent Struggles and the Need for a Win

Despite their rich history in Nigerian football, Enyimba have struggled in recent games, going winless in their last two league matches. They currently sit in 11th place on the NPFL table with 34 points and desperately need a victory to regain momentum.

Opinion: Can Enyimba Deliver Under Pressure?

Olorunleke’s confidence is inspiring, but football isn’t won on words alone. Enyimba must show hunger, determination, and tactical discipline to overcome a high-flying Shooting Stars side.

Shooting Stars, currently 2nd in the league with 41 points, will be looking to maintain their strong form, making this a high-stakes encounter.

Will Enyimba bounce back to winning ways, or will Shooting Stars continue their impressive run?
