3SC go for treble against Heartland

Fresh from two straight victories, Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) return to the pitch today to face Heartland FC of Owerri, in a matchday 10 Nigeria Professional Football League game billed for the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan.

A dramatic 2-1 hone win over Kwara United on matchday eight and a 1-0 hard won triumph over MFM of Lagos last Sunday, have suddenly changed the tide of things in favour of 3SC and the Edith Agoye tutored team, will aim at nothing but maximum points to make it a treble.

Having been pushed up the ladder by those wins, the Oluyole Warriors are poised to secure their third consecutive victory, which would move them up the ladder.

Based on current form, the former continental champions, should have little or no problem in compounding the woes of the hapless visitors, who are placed 19th on the log, going into Wednesday match, having garneted seven points from nine matches.

Despite their unimpressive performance so far, Heartland would expectedly raise their game to avoid defeat and as well shock bookmakers, but going by the mood in the camp of the host, their dream may not come to reality.

Vice captain of 3SC, Abbey Benson, said the game will be taken with utmost seriousness.
