Enyimba Aba vs Shooting Stars FC Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to drop points here

On Wednesday, Enyimba Aba will lock horns against Shooting Stars at the Enyimba International Stadium. The guests, who have lost their bearing lately, will be keen to find their way back to form as they will fight for at least a point against an uninspiring opponent tomorrow. 

Enyimba Aba (11th)

Last five matches: WLLWL

The Elephants continued to struggle in the league as they were beaten by Katsina United on the road. They conceded twice and scored a consolation goal from a spotkick against their opponent. Enyimba Aba, who had won against Rivers United couldn’t maintain their momentum, as they have now won two of their last seven league games. 

It’s so shocking to see Enyimba Aba struggle in the league as they head here with another distasteful performance on the road. With a win in over four league games, Enyimba Aba have been in terrible form this season. The Eastern-based team and two-time CAF Champions have picked up thirty-four points from a combined seventy-five. 

Enyimba Aba will be determined to rebound at home, and I expect them to win here. 

Shooting Stars (2nd)

Last five games: DWLLD

The Oluyole Warriors have been electrifying at home until their last stalemate against Lobi Stars. Before now, they had won eight consecutive wins but couldn’t get all the points against an opponent who were reduced to ten men. 

Shooting Stars are far from the league leaders, with ten points separating them and Remo Stars. The Oluyole Warriors have picked up forty-one points from a combined seventy-five, scoring twenty-five and conceding twenty. Shooting Stars have won twice, lost eight and drawn two games on the road this campaign. 

Expert Betting Tips

Shooting Stars FC have won three, while Enyimba Aba have won four games and three matches ending in a tie over their previous ten meetings. The guests have now gone three games without a breakthrough, and it’s a step backwards in their attempt to challenge for the NPFL title. Shooting Stars will approach this game with the aim of returning to winning ways, but looking at Enyimba Aba's home form, it will be difficult.

The hosts can’t afford to lose back-to-back games in the league, as they are closer to the relegation zone than the top of the log. Enyimba Aba will face off against Shooting Stars, who, on their days, could secure a point here. 

The hosts have made two quality signings during the week, and the players will be keen to hit the ground running. Since Shooting Stars are looking forward to returning to winning ways, I’m confident they’ll at least get a goal here, which makes me think a home win or draw and BTTS might surface for 3.85 at (Betway).

Looking at the hosts' record, they hardly maintain their defensive shape during games, and I think the guests could get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.67 at (Bet365).

I’m thinking the hosts will get off to a flyer and secure a halftime victory for 2.30 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
