The Agege Stadium in Lagos, fondly referred to as the ‘Soccer Temple’, is expected to come alive this Sunday.

Mountain of Fire and Miracles Football Club will be taking on Rangers International in one of the NPFL matchday five fixtures.

Going into Sunday’s crunch clash, the Olukoya Boys have won their previous two home games so far this season at the Soccer Temple.

They are now aiming for a third victory over the visiting Flying Antelopes.

However, In their last visit to Lagos, Rangers forced MFM FC to a barren draw and they would definitely fancy their chances of picking at least a point in this latest visit to the Centre of Excellence.

Rangers are joint top with Rivers United on the NPFL log with nine points from four games while MFM are two points adrift in the seventh position.
