Football fans are in for an exciting week as StarTimes broadcasts a range of matches featuring Nigerian players from various leagues.
The action spans from the prestigious Spanish La Liga to the exhilarating Bundesliga, the Saudi Pro League, and the competitive Carabao Cup in England.
Following Tuesday’s thrilling games, the Carabao Cup takes center stage again today with several Nigerian stars in the spotlight.
Nottingham Forest’s dynamic duo, Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina, face a challenging match against Newcastle United.
Awoniyi, who had a notable appearance against Southampton last weekend, may start against the Magpies, while Aina, who played a full match recently, might be rested.
Other Nigerian-heavy teams in the Carabao Cup include Brentford, with Frank Onyeka, and a potential all-Nigerian clash between Cardiff City’s Jamilu Collins and Southampton’s Joe Aribo.
Both Brentford and Southampton, coming off recent league defeats, will be eager to redeem themselves in today’s League Cup fixtures.
In Spain’s La Liga, Sadiq Umar will be targeting more playing time as Real Sociedad hosts Alaves at the Reale Arena.
Umar who featured for 23 minutes in the away win over Rayo Vallecano will hope to get more chance to fight for his opening goal in the La Liga this season.
Beyond Europe, StarTimes brings you the Saudi Pro League, where Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has joined forces with football icon Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ekong’s Al Kholood will be aiming for victory against Al Riyadh on Thursday at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.
As a newly promoted team, Al Kholood will be relying on Ekong’s experience to solidify their defence.
