Remo Stars vs Sunshine Stars Prediction: A dramatic and fun scoring contest is expected

Remo Stars and Sunshine Stars are set to face off in the NPFL week 17 fixture at Remo Star Stadium. Leading up to this game, the hosts experienced a humiliating defeat against Heartland, whereas Sunshine Stars secured a victory over Doma United.

In their recent outings, Remo Stars emerged victorious in two matches against Kwara United and Lobi Stars. However, they faced defeats against Kano Pillars and Heartland, with one game resulting in a draw against Niger Tornadoes. Throughout these fixtures, Remo Stars netted a total of 6 goals while conceding 5. Their goal-scoring average per match in the current league season stands at 1.44. Notably, Remo Stars display proficiency in ball possession, maintaining an average possession rate of 51.75% this season.

Sunshine Stars heads into this match with two victories in their last five games, securing wins against Shooting Stars and Doma United. Despite these successes, their encounter with Bendel Insurance resulted in a 1-0 defeat on the road, while fixtures against Gombe United and Akwa United concluded in draws. Throughout these matches, Sunshine Stars scored four goals and conceded two. In away games, they averaged 1.06 goals per match while conceding the same. The team faced disciplinary actions, receiving 23 yellow cards and one red card. Notably, Sunshine Stars' ball possession has been relatively lower, with an overall average of 47.00% in this season.

I believe this match won't be as straightforward as it appears on paper, particularly given Sunshine Stars' impressive performance this season. Nevertheless, Remo Stars, motivated by their league standing, should possess considerable momentum playing on their home turf. While my anticipation is for them to prioritize a victory, seizing opportunities for goals is equally important, especially considering both teams boast strong attacking squads.
