The Oluyole Warriors are among the clubs vying for a top-three finish in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, this season.

Shooting Stars currently sit in fifth position on the log with 48 points from 33 matches.

Adepoju believed they have the quality to finish in the top-three.

“It’s a very commendable season for the Shooting Stars, although they could have been in the second position,” Adepoju told Flashscore.

“They have been in the second position for some time during the season until when they lost some points and they dropped to fourth.

“Even at this, they are still doing very well and they still have the opportunity of qualifying for the continental football at the end of the season.”

The Oluyole Warriors lost 3-0 to Bayelsa United in a matchday 33 fixture in Yenagoa.

It was their first defeat in four league outings.
