The newly promoted side recorded their first win since promotion, as they defeated Kun Khalifat on the road. On a very rare occasion, Barau FC returned from a goal down to find the back of the net three times. Nwokorie opened the scoreline for Kun Khalifat in the 14th minute; however, Yahaya responded for Barau FC just before the break. The second half took another turn when coach Bosso made some strategic adjustments, which in turn led to two goals. The (1-3) victory over Kun Khalifat was one of their best performances since the league began.
The Maliya Boys, who got promoted this season, have picked up five points from a combined fifteen, scoring four and conceding six times. Barau FC is a newly formed team, and they’ll be keen to secure their first-ever home win since promotion.

Coach Ladan Bosso will pretty much settle with the same team that recorded an emphatic victory over Kun Khalifat lately.

The guests who had a decent start to this campaign have now played four games without a breakthrough as they dropped to twelfth spot on the log. Warri Wolves head here with another loss in the league, this time against Shooting Stars on their home turf. The game started with both teams settling for a halftime stalemate, but it was the Warri Wolves who opened the scoreline in the second half. Their defense let them down again, as they conceded twice against Shooting Stars. The (1-2) loss was another disappointing display just after the (1-0) loss against El Kanemi Warriors on the road.
Warri Wolves have picked up seven points from a potential eighteen points, finding the back of the net four times and letting in just four goals.
Warri Wolves are very much experienced in the NPFL; however, their last three home games have not been impressive enough.
Warri Wolves Team News
It’s going to be another tough outing tomorrow, and they must be careful not to concede lots of goals. Warri Wolves have scored just once in their last three games, and something must change about their attack.
Warri Wolves Potential Lineup (4-3-3)
Edafe–Bakare, Emonena, Chrisom, Ogban, Olisema—Bassey, Orupke, Yusuf—Prince, Evwierhurhoma, Adebambo
Head Coach: Napoleon Aluma

Barau FC vs Warri Wolves FC match prediction 05 October 2025
Barau FC picked up their first win against a struggling Kun Khalifat a few days ago, and they’ll be keen to build on such a decent display. Meanwhile, Warri Wolves' terrible performance in the Nigerian Premier League continues, with another defeat on their home ground. Things have not been going in the right direction for a side that had previously had back-to-back games at the start of the campaign.
Barau FC are pretty much confident heading into this game, and only a solid team can tactically outplay a home side in the league. The hosts for me stand a better chance on their ground, but I will assume both teams will settle for a share of the spoils in this highly anticipated encounter.
My match prediction is for Warri Wolves to win or draw and fewer than two goals with a coefficient of 2.20 on the Betway bookmaker.
My betting tip on this match is a halftime Stalemate with a coefficient of 1.81 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
My final betting tip is for this game to witness more goals after the break, with a coefficient of 2.17 on the 1xbet bookmaker.
Good luck!
