Akwa United vs Katsina United Prediction: The home team can’t afford to drop points in front of their home supporters

A few days after their slim defeat against Kano Pillars, Akwa United will be keen to adjust quickly against Katsina United at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Monday. The home side are in terrible form and will be looking to secure their seventh win of the season to vacate the relegation zone in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) ta

Akwa United (19th)

Last five games: LWLDL

The Promise Keeper Boys stumbled on another defeat in the league; this time, it was against Kano Pillars away from home. Following a defensive halftime and going for almost eighty minutes without conceding, Akwa United let in a goal from the penalty spot against their opponent. This was after their (1-1) stalemate against Rivers United on their home turf. With one win in eight matches, Akwa United sit comfortably in the relegation zone on the log. Boboye’s men have managed six wins this season. The Promise Keepers have won six, lost two games, and drawn five over their previous thirteen home matches.

Katsina United (14th)

Last five games: LWDWL

The Chanji Boys are one of the worst teams on the road in the division, with three shares of the spoils in twelve away games. Katsina United bowed to a slim (1-0) loss against Rivers United on the road. Before then, stunned Enyimba Aba (2-1) in front of their home supporters, as they moved two points ahead of the relegation zone. 

 The Chanji Boys' only hope of surviving this season is to always win on their ground, as they have not tasted victory once away from home this season. Katsina United have picked up thirty-three points from a combined seventy-eight, scoring eighteen and conceding twenty.

Expect Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Akwa United have recorded three wins and two games ending in a tie, while Katsina United have managed five victories. Katsina United have not won any game away from home this season, but they have not conceded more than a goal in six consecutive games on the road. They’re definitely the underdog here, but they won’t bow without a fight. I expect Akwa United, who suffered their fourteenth defeat away from home a few days ago, to be at the top of their game here. 

Akwa United can’t settle for anything aside from the maximum points, and I expect them to secure a win and score less than three goals for 2.10 at (Betway).

I expect a cagey game with a total of under 1.5 goals here for 2.60 at (Bet365).

I anticipate to see more goals after the break for 2.20 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
