The Prosperity Boys picked up a point for the first time since September, although they were lucky against ten-man Bendel Insurance. Bayelsa United approached their most recent game with utmost confidence, and it looked like luck would shine on them when their opponent received a red card. Unfortunately, they were the first team to concede immediately after the break. Mustapha Jawad found the back of the net to equalize in a (1-1) share of the spoils.
The Prosperity Boys are presently not at their best, and only a win can boost their confidence. Bayelsa United dropped to fourteenth place on the log, having secured seven points from a potential eighteen points.
The Prosperity Boys have won once and lost twice across their last three NPFL games, but they will be keen to secure the maximum points.

The Oga Boys have been below par lately, and with a win across their last five matches, Ikorodu City can’t afford to drop points on the road—Ikorodu City head here with a share of the spoils against Enyimba Aba on their ground. With thirteen minutes of play, Joel Ezra opened the floor for the guests. Ikorodu City surged forward to look for an equalizer, and after four minutes, defender Onwe made a great pass to Arumal, who converted from close range. The (1-1) share of the spoils was a convincing performance but not a decent result. The Lagos-based team and the newly promoted team have not been themselves lately, and they must avoid any casualties here.
Ali Kandil’s men have accumulated seven points from their previous six games, scoring five and conceding six times. Ikorodu City have lost once and drawn two games across their last three matches on the road.
Ikorodu City Lineup
The Lagos-based side were below par defensively as Owolabi started from the bench. Adelanni was also missing for the Oga Boys, and we expect him to make the team this time, providing another attacking option.
Ikorodu City Potential Starting Lineup (4-3-3)
Atata—Abatan, Odinaka, Chibuzor, Udoh—Ojetayo, Onwe, Oyedokun—MUSA, Arumala, UCHE
Head coach: Ali Kandil

Bayelsa United vs Ikorodu City FC match prediction 05 October 2025
The Oga Boys have not been themselves in recent games, with just a win since the league began. Ikorodu City have also not been ruthless enough, and this isn’t the same team that played last campaign. Meanwhile, after their decent start to the season, they have now played four games without a breakthrough. Their recent display on the road was a lucky one, and a decent team will hurt them.
Ikorodu City have not won on the road, but have only lost once while sharing the spoils twice. The Oga Boys won’t have it easy against the hosts, but I think they’ll likely get a goal at least here. This game won’t deny us goals, as both teams lack coordination at the back.
My match prediction is a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.06 on the 1xbet bookmaker.
My betting tip on this match is for Bayelsa United to score before the break with a coefficient of 2.01 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
My final betting tip is over 2.5 goals for 2.15 on the Betway bookmaker.
Good luck!
