Final score: Ikorodu City 2 - 2 Shooting Stars

Settled 25 October 2026 - Bros IQ

Ikorodu City could not find the win this pick needed, as the match finished level, Ikorodu City 2 - 2 Shooting Stars. Na my reading be this, and I no go run from am, Ikorodu City pushed hard for the three points for home but Shooting Stars matched them goal for goal till final whistle blow. The home side never fell behind for good, dem just could not hold front long enough to turn things into the win the pick wanted. A draw no mean defeat for either side, but for a bet that call Ikorodu City to win straight, the end result no deliver am.

Ikorodu City sit 10th of 20 going into this weekend, five points off leaders Rivers United, after losing 2-1 away at Niger Tornadoes on Sunday 18 October 2026. Shooting Stars are 15th of 20, six points off the same pace, after beating Ranchers Bees 3-1 at home on Friday 16 October 2026. Sunday’s game at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos is a chance for either side to find a bit of daylight in the table.

Form and table before kick-off. Ikorodu City: 2W 3D 3L in 8 matches, 10th of 20, 12 points. Shooting Stars: 2W 2D 4L in 8 matches, 15th of 20, 11 points. head to head over 4 matches: Ikorodu City 2, draws 2, Shooting Stars 0.View full size

Na history dey slight favour the home side here. Ikorodu City hold a 2W 2D 0L record in this head to head. On Thursday 29 January 2026, Ikorodu City won 1-0 at home in this fixture, and on Sunday 7 September 2025 the sides drew 1-1 at Shooting Stars’ ground.

Form reads two different stories right now. Ikorodu City have gone 2W 3D 3L in their last 8 matches, with a win coming just before that defeat at Niger Tornadoes. At home this season they have been solid, 2W 1D 0L in 3 matches, scoring 8 and conceding 8 across the sample. Shooting Stars have gone 2W 2D 4L in their last 8, but away from home they have taken nothing, 0W 0D 4L in 4 matches, conceding 11 goals in their last 8 games overall.

I no go dulling on this one. Ikorodu City be my pick to win it. The home team don win 63% of matches in this league over the past two seasons, and between these two sides, Ikorodu City carry the stronger record across recent seasons. Still, I no fit call this one open and shut. Ikorodu City dey carry a loss into this weekend, and the run no clean.

The forecast read on Sunday 25 October 2026 at 10:00 Lagos time has it cloudy in Lagos, 30 degrees, with wind at 21 km/h and no rain expected. Kickoff is 16:00 Lagos time. If Shooting Stars carry the form that beat Ranchers Bees into this one, Ikorodu City’s home run could be the thing that breaks.

Match-day price. Read Sunday 25 October 2026, 14:15 Lagos time, before kick-off: Ikorodu City 1.44, draw 3.60, Shooting Stars 7.50, the median across 7 bookmakers on the 1X2 market. This pick was written before any bookmaker had priced the match; the price is shown for the record, not as an invitation to stake.
