Abia Warriors vs Lobi Stars Prediction: Abia Warriors will add to Lobi Stars’ struggles.

At Umuahia Main Stadium, Abia Warriors will play Lobi Stars in round 31 of the Nigeria Professional Football League. The previous time these two teams met, Lobi Stars secured a 3-1 win. Can Abia Warriors win this one? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Abia Warriors

Abia Warriors played Heartland in their last league game and secured a win. In a 0-1 contest, Adejoh Ojonugwa's strike in the second half was enough to see this team take maximum points. In the meantime, that win was Abia Warriors’ second in a row, the first against Bendel Insurance. However, Abia Warriors have lost only once in recent matches, ending 1-0 against Plateau United. In that run, they drew Kwara United and Nasarawa United, while they picked up a win over Rangers International. This season, Abia Warriors have 47 points from 30 matches, scoring 29 goals with 27 conceded. 

Lobi Stars

Lobi Stars played Bayelsa United in their last league game and lost. In a 1-0 contest, a second-half Magbisa Wisdom strike saw their opponent take maximum points. In the meantime, Lobi Stars have faced defeat in their last four matches. In that run, this team lost to Niger Tornadoes, El Kanemi, and Ikorodu City. Heading into this game, Lobi Stars have gone winless in 12 consecutive matches. In that run, this team lost eight matches while going winless in four others. Ahead of this match, Lobi Stars have the fewest points in the league, scoring 20 goals and conceding 36. 

Expert Betting Tips

Lobi Stars are way behind and will have to do better here if they want to avoid a defeat. However, Abia Warriors have shown desire to win, and while they are on the right path to make it to CAF competition, I expect so much from them. The two teams have their flaws, but at home, Abia Warriors are just too good to lose. I will back the home team to win. In the meantime, both teams have been poor offensively, and I expect a focus on defensive play.
