On Saturday, relegation-threatened Lobi Stars will face off against the relegated Heartland Owerri at the Dan Anyiam Stadium. The hosts stand no chance of remaining in the league, and we expect them to give up the points for the visitors, who stand a better chance of survival.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have won three games apiece over their last six meetings. Heartland Owerri are not ready to relinquish their remaining games even though they have been relegated. They surrendered to a far superior Remo Stars on the road after their (3-1) victory over Doma United at home. At the same time, the guests are now unbeaten over their last four games, and they’ll be desperate to keep the ball rolling. Heartland Owerri will play for pride here, and we expect them to secure the maximum possible points for 1.75.

Heartland Owerri will be keen to maintain their decent home form against the guests, but we can’t see them keeping a clean sheet here; bet on BTTS for 1.88.
