Enyimba: Form and Statistics

Plateau United's strong finishing in the second half made the difference, as Enyimba had a hard time getting past a strong defense. Enyimba, who have won the NPFL nine times, are in big trouble. They've lost three games in a row with coach Stanley Eguma. Management of the club has issued a stern ultimatum, which has raised concerns about their NPFL 2025/26 campaign. Enyimba didn't lose any of their first seven games this season (3 wins, 4 draws). But now they've lost to three different teams, the most recent being Plateau United, who beat them 2-1 in Jos on Matchday 10. This loss has made Enyimba's bad run of form even worse, with problems on both offense and defense. The management of the club is getting more and more worried. In a recent statement, they talked about Enyimba's proud history of winning and high expectations: "Enyimba FC is a club that expects nothing less than the best." Fans want answers, which makes things even harder for coach Stanley Eguma. Enyimba is having a hard time because of a few big problems: they keep letting in goals at bad times, they aren't scoring goals, and their defense isn't good enough. Coach Eguma has said that the team's conversion rate is "very low," and that they are still working on rebuilding. Enyimba had high hopes of winning the league or getting a spot in the continental tournament this season, but their poor performance has sparked debates across the Nigerian football scene. In response, Enyimba's management has told Eguma and his team that they have two games to make things better.

Kano Pillars: Form and Statistics

This season, Kano Pillars have only won 2 of their first 9 NPFL games. This is the fewest wins they have had since the 2013–14 season. They have lost five of those games, which is the most in the last 14 seasons of the NPFL. The team is having a hard time. The club is making changes to fix things. After a bad start to the 2025/26 season, they have put Technical Adviser Evans Ogenyi and Chief Coach Ahmed Garba Yaro on leave. Muhammad Babaganaru, a veteran coach, has been named Acting Technical Adviser. The team hopes that Babaganaru, who has led them to past NPFL titles, can help keep things steady. In their first eight games, Kano Pillars have only won two, drawn two, and lost four. Management thinks this record is unacceptable. Things have gotten worse because the club is facing penalties. Because of problems with the crowd in a recent match, they will play 10 home games with no fans and have been fined ₦9.5 million. They will also lose three points. Kano Pillars lost to Niger Tornadoes 2-0 in their last game. The second half of the game was much more exciting than the first half, which ended with no goals. Even though Kano Pillars put pressure on them and Ahmed Musa came on, the Tornadoes' defense stayed strong. Niger Tornadoes took the lead in the 58th minute when Kano Pillars scored an own goal. In the 86th minute, Terdoo Shimagande scored a well-placed rebound goal to seal the win.

Kano Pillars: Team News

Kano Pillars, four-time NPFL champions, are in desperate need of a turnaround. The club's management has taken action, suspending Technical Adviser Evans Ogenyi and Chief Coach Ahmed Garba Yaro following a poor start to the 2025/26 season. To make a change, the club has appointed veteran coach Muhammad Babaganaru as Acting Technical Adviser. Babaganaru, who previously led the club to NPFL titles, is expected to help stabilize the team. The decision comes after a tough start. Kano Pillars have only two wins, two draws, and four losses from their first eight matches, a record the management can’t accept. To make matters worse, the club is facing sanctions. They will play 10 home matches behind closed doors, pay a ₦9.5 million fine, and have had three points deducted due to crowd disturbances in a recent match.

Enyimba vs Kano Pillars match prediction, 2nd November 2025

Enyimba has a small home field advantage over Kano Pillars, but it's not a big one. Expect a close game with a small margin. In their last ten games, both teams have had a mix of goals. This game could have a low to medium score, so people who bet on totals should be careful. There is also some uncertainty about the BTTS (Both Teams to Score) trend. One team might score and the other team might not. You should add this to other stats like wins or goals. Enyimba usually gets more than 8 corners at home, but Kano Pillars aren't as reliable. A bet on more than 7.5 corners might still be a good idea. It looks like Under 3.5 Goals is a good bet. In their last ten home games, Enyimba has scored fewer than four goals in 90% of them. In their last ten away games, Kano Pillars has also scored fewer than four goals in 90% of them. Both teams tend to play close games.
