Remo Stars vs Niger Tornadoes Prediction: The hosts will take their chances against the visitors

The Sky Blue Stars will be keen to close the gap at the top when they face off against Niger Tornadoes at the Remo Stars Stadium on Friday. Remo Stars have won just once against the visitors over their previous seven meetings and must be at their best to take anything from this game.

The Sky Blue Stars succumbed to their first defeat in five games as they were narrowly beaten by Plateau United away from home. The defeat means Remo Stars are yet to register a win over their previous nine games on the road. 

Daniel Ogunmodede's men are now four points behind the league leaders after winning two of their last five matches. Remo Stars have picked up fifty points from a combined ninety, scoring thirty-five and conceding twenty-seven. Remo Stars have won thirteen and drawn a game on their ground this season.

Hamza Abarah's men continue their resurgence in the division with four wins in five matches. After a little setback against Akwa United on the road, which saw them concede four times, Niger Tornadoes recovered with a (2-1) victory over Doma United. They have scored a whopping thirteen goals in their last five games, conceding six times. After the result, they jumped to 10th place on the log and are now six points ahead of the relegation zone. 

Ikon Allah Boys are back fighting for the top-four finish in the division and must win here to keep their hope alive. Niger Tornadoes have won two, drawn twice, and lost ten times away from home this season. 

Over their previous seven meetings, Remo Stars have won once, while Niger Tornadoes have recorded three wins and three games ending in a stalemate. Remo Stars have struggled against the visitors over the years but have the upper hand, having won once and drawn a game over their previous two meetings. Remo Stars, who are title contenders, lost on the road recently, and a defeat here could end their dream of winning the NPFL title. On the other hand, Niger Tornadoes can be deadly on the road, having won two of their last four away games. They have also scored in eight consecutive matches, and we think they’ll fight here. 

However, with eight games to wrap up this season, the hosts can’t afford to drop points on their home soil; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.76.

We expect the visitors to at least get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.60.

This game won’t deprive us of goals; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.60.

Good luck!
