Lobi Stars vs Heartland Owerri Prediction: The visitors stand no chance here against their opponent

On Sunday, Lobi Stars will be keen to take advantage of title rivals Doma United, who lost their recent game, as they face off against an unpredictable Heartland Owerri at the Lafia City Stadium. 

Lobi Stars (2nd)

Last five games: WWDWL

The Bauchi-based had a rough outing lately as they were stunned by Platea United on the road. After conceding twice to the former champions, they found their back in the fifty-seven minutes but couldn’t take chances as they left without any points in Lafia. Lobi Stars are aware that a win here would give them an edge over their fellow title contenders, and we expect them to bounce back here. 

The Yes Father Boys have made their home ground their refuge this season, and all their losses have been on the road. Lobi Stars Eugene Agagbe's men have scored twenty-three and let in seventeen goals this season as they moved to the second spot on the log. 

Heartland Owerri (20th)

Last five games: WLLDD

Unfortunately, the Oriental Boys might be on their way to Division Two, as they have won three times this season. Heartland Owerri failed to impress on their ground as they settled for a share of the spoils against Kano Pillars. 

Heartland Owerri still languish at the bottom of the log, having secured seventeen points from a combined fifty-seven. 

Heartland Owerri have lost seven and drawn three on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Their previous twelve meetings have seen Lobi Stars with six wins while Heartland Owerri have won four and two games ending in a tie. Heartland Owerri seems to know how to upset teams on the road, but the hosts will be more than determined to assume the top spot. Only a side have denied the hosts the maximum points on their ground this season, and we think they’ll be at the top of their game here; bet on a home halftime win for 1.85.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece since the visitors usually score on the road. 

We also expect to witness more than two goals here for 1.87.

Good luck!
