Kwara United vs Abia Warriors Prediction: The hosts will return to winning ways

Kwara United will lock horns against Abia Warriors FC in their attempt to return to winning ways at the Kwara State Complex Stadium on Wednesday. Can the guests pull a surprise stunt here and secure their third away win of the season?

Kwara United (10th)

Last five games: WLWWL

The Northern-based side bowed to their tenth defeat of the season against Remo Stars on the road. Kwara United wasn’t happy with his defenders after playing eighty minutes without conceding, just to concede twice in ten minutes. It was a disappointing defensive display from Kwara United, who were almost going to run away with a point. They surrendered to a (2-0) loss on the road, making it six successive losses away from home. Kwara United are four points behind the fourth spot, and a win here will move them closer to a top-four finish. Tunde Sanni's men have been in fine form at home lately, picking up twenty-nine points from a possible thirty-nine.

Abia Warriors (4th)

Last five matches: LWWLW

The Pride of Abias return to winning ways, securing the maximum points against Enugu Rangers. Ijoma Anthony scored the only goal that won his side all the points after their (1-0) loss against Kano Pillars on the road. Abia Warriors are one of the worst teams away from home; however, their performance a few days ago was commendable. 

It has been a disastrous season for the former NPFL winner, but their recent performance suggests they stand a chance of challenging for a top-six finish. 

Abia Warriors rely heavily on their home form to rack up points, as they have just two of their last thirteen away games.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Kwara United have managed two wins while Abia Warriors have won five times and three games ending in a tie. Kwara United's struggle on the road continue as they were overwhelmed by a solid Remo Stars despite not conceding up until the 80th minute. On the other hand, Abia Warriors Stars have been clinical on their home turf lately, considering the quality of their opponent, as they scored once to amass all the points against Enugu Rangers. 

Kwara United's only means of survival in the league this campaign is to consistently rack up points at home, as they have now lost seven straight matches on the road. Given the home advantage and Kwara United's resilience on their turf, I’ll opt for a home win and under 3.5 goals here for 1.76 at (Betway).

The guests might not get a goal here, so a total of under 1.5 goals here for 2.37 at (1xbet).

I also think both teams might settle for a halftime stalemate for 1.95 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
