Akwa United vs Shooting Stars Prediction: Home team won’t disappoint

Godswill Akpabio International Stadium will play host to the tenth round of action in the Nigeria Professional Football League, which will feature a matchup between Akwa United and Shooting Stars. While Shooting Stars will be hoping for a better outcome than their previous encounter, which ended in a draw between the home team and Akwa United, the home team's most recent match also ended in a draw.

In their previous matches, Akwa United's record was as follows: they won two games against Remo Stars and Gombe United, lost one game against Kwara United, and tied two games against El Kanemi Warriors and Shooting Stars, respectively. During those encounters, Akwa United was able to score nine goals while allowing six to be scored against them. During the current league season, Akwa United has scored 1.33 goals on average in every game they have played. The home team was given 22 yellow cards but none of the more serious red cards during the course of their games this season. This season, Akwa United has an average possession of the ball of 50.0%, indicating that they are somehow unable to hold control of the ball.

Shooting Stars comes into this match having won one of their previous five matches against Nasarawa United, losing to Gombe United and Enyimba, and drawing Bendel Insurance and Akwa United, respectively. During those matches, the team's total goals for and against were seven and eight, respectively. When playing away from home, Shooting Stars had a goal scoring average of 1.22 and a goals against average of 1.44. The squad was issued 13 yellow cards but no red cards as a result of their disciplinary cautions. The Shooting Stars are not very strong at keeping possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 49.33% this season.

It is anticipated that Akwa United will prevail in this encounter because they are the superior team. On the other hand, the away team will try their best to avoid suffering another loss. As a result, we are anticipating success for the team playing at home. Even if we anticipate a game with a high level of competition, betting on the total number of goals scored to be over will be a solid choice.
