Matchday 5 in the 2025 Nationwide League One season sees Wonderxchange FC face Emalex FC in a high-stakes midweek encounter. The Lions will be looking to build on their momentum after an impressive 3-1 win over Reignz FC, as they aim to strengthen their position in the Ijebu-Ode Centre standings.
Match Preview
Wonderxchange FC currently sit on 7 points from four matches, having won two, drawn one, and lost one. The team showed flashes of brilliance in their last outing, where goals from Lekan, Glory, and Odunayo powered them to victory.
Emalex FC, meanwhile, will present a different challenge. Known for their physicality and compact style of play, they’ll be aiming to disrupt Wonderxchange’s rhythm and climb up the table themselves.

Head Coach James Aiyeyemi will be expected to stick with the core of the side that earned the win over Reignz FC, with a few possible rotations due to fatigue. Imoleayo remains a strong presence in goal, while the leadership of Lekan in defense continues to anchor the backline.
Midfield combinations have been dynamic, with Oluwatobiloba, Melody, and Odunayo offering creativity and work rate. The frontline pairing of Glory and Mighty has also shown signs of cohesion, a potential threat to Emalex FC’s defense.
