Last five games: WLLWL

The newly promoted side are back to their default setting a few days after their victory over Kano Pillars. Barau FC were once again below par as they were tactically outclassed by Abia Warriors on the road. The game, which started off with great tempo from the hosts, resulted in a game after fifteen minutes. Abia Warriors were the ones in control of the game, and in the 60th minute, the hosts doubled their lead. Barau FC were lucky to have conceded twice as Ali Samlim and Yusuf Mohammed denied Abia Warriors several goal chances. 

The Maliya Boys, who were promoted this season, have picked up eight points from a combined total of twenty-seven, scoring six and conceding twelve times. Barau FC have managed one win across their previous four home games.

Goalkeeper Ali Yusuf was substituted in the 65th minute against Abia Warriors on the road, and we are unsure if he will feature in this particular encounter. Coach Ladan Bosso will pretty much settle with the same team that played their last game.

Barau FC vs Wikki Tourists FC Match Prediction, 02 November 2025

Barau FC picked up their first win against a struggling Kun Khalifat a few days ago, but couldn’t maintain it as they were outmuscled by Abia Warriors on the road. Meanwhile, Wikki Tourists recovered from their recent struggles with a clean win over Shooting Stars at home in the Nigerian Premier League.

Barau FC are one of the most inconsistent teams at home, and the fact that this game will be played behind closed doors makes it even open to either side. The likely outcome here is a stalemate, but the inability of Barau FC to keep a clean sheet suggests this encounter won’t deny us goals. 

My match prediction is for Barau FC to win or draw and score more than a goal with a coefficient of 2.02 on the Betway bookmaker. 

My betting tip on this match is a halftime tie 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!
