Lobi Stars vs Enyimba Aba Prediction: This fierce encounter might end in a thrilling draw, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

Lobi Stars will face off against Enyimba Aba on Monday at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium. The hosts will play this game on a neutral ground, which gives the guests a little edge in this encounter. Both teams have been below par this campaign and we expect nothing but a positive response from the sleeping Elephants. 

Lobi Stars (19th)

Last five games: WLDLD

The Bauchi-based team sits comfortably in the relegation zone but pulled off a share of the spoils on the road against Akwa United. Lobi Stars took the early lead when newly signed Onyekachi Okafor put the ball at the back of the net, however, Friday Apollo equalised to split points for his team. 

Having won five of their previous twenty-one league games, Lobi Stars might be on their way to Division Two, the second tier of Nigerian football, if things remain the same. This would be a significant setback for the team and could affect their performance in the upcoming match. 

Things haven’t been going in the right direction for the hosts since the start of the season, as they have won the joint fewest games of all the teams in the league. 

Lobi Stars are aware that a win here would give them the confidence to surge ahead in the long run, and we expect them to approach this game with urgency. 

Enyimba Aba (11th)

Last five matches: DWLLD

It’s disheartening to see the most successful team in the history of the competition, Enyimba Aba, struggle. They settled for a stalemate again in the Oriental Derby, a testament to their ongoing battle. 

It’s so sad to see Enyimba Aba suffer in the league as they head here with another distasteful performance at home.

With a win in over eleven league games, Enyimba Aba have been in terrible form this season. The Eastern-based team and two-time CAF Champions have picked up twenty-eight points from a combined sixty.

Enyimba Aba have lost four, won once and drawn four on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Lobi Stars have won two, while Enyimba Aba have recorded six wins and two games ending in a tie over their previous ten meetings. Lobi Stars have picked up 97% of all their points at home this season. They have been extremely poor on the road this campaign, and their only hope to survive relegation is to win on their home turf. On the other hand, the guests head here with another tasteless performance on the road in a Derby game. Enyimba Aba can’t keep performing at this level, and I hope they turn their fortunes around against a struggling Lobi Stars.

I’ll never bet against Enyimba Aba in the NPFL, as I know what they are capable of doing. They still remain a top side and hopefully, they bounce back against their opponent; bet on an away win or draw here for 2.20 at (1xbet). Even though it's risky, I also think the hosts have the potential to turn their fortunes around.

Enyimba Aba might actually get a goal here for 2.30 at (Betway).
