Enyimba Aba vs Bayelsa United Prediction: The People’s Elephant will maintain their decent home record

On Wednesday, the People’s Elephant will face off against Bayelsa United at the Enyimba International Stadium. The hosts endured a tough match against title contenders Rangers International on the road, which amounted to the game being declared inconclusive after a fight erupted. They have now been sanctioned by the NPFL for misconduct and awarded Enugu Rangers three points and three goals. For this reason, they must now win all their matches and pray the league leaders slip up to secure the title. At the same time, the visitors are in the relegation zone and must secure the maximum points here.
