Nasarawa United vs Katsina United: Prediction and odds on the Match on 28 September 2025

Nasarawa United will welcome Katsina United to the Lafia Township Stadium on Sunday in round six of the 2025/2026 NPFL season. The host team has won the last eleven head-to-head games between the two sides. Will this game follow the same direction? Below is a match preview and well-analysed betting opportunities.

Nasarawa United: form and statistics

Nasarawa United continue their unbeaten run in the league, defeating Bayelsa United 2-1 in their last game. Ekeson Okorie equalised for Nasarawa United just before halftime after Mustapha Jawad had put Bayelsa United ahead in the 36th minute. When everybody thought the game was heading towards a draw, Collins Onovuke scored the winner with two minutes left to play. The win was the only away win of round five of the Nigeria Premier Football League. The Solid Miners had started the season with a 1-0 loss to Niger Tornadoes, but they quickly bounced back in round 2, securing a 1-0 win over Abia Warriors. They went on to pick a vital away point in a goalless draw against Enyimba before defeating Wikki Tourist 1-0 and Bayelsa 1-0 in their last game. This great run of results put them second on the table with ten points in five games, having scored four goals and conceded two.

Nasarawa United: Team News and Lineup

With no fresh injury concern, Nasarawa United will likely continue with the same starting eleven that gave them an away win in their last game. Anas Yusuf, who won the golden boot last season, hasn't played more than two games this season and was an unused sub in their last game against Bayelsa. As things stand, the 21-year-old striker will continue from the bench in this game as well.

Nasarawa United Expected Lineup

Ameh Godwin, Victor Collins, Garba Mohammed, Abubakar Abdullah, Jofrank Istifanus, Joshua John, Hussaini Mubarak, Chidera Nduka, Ekeson Okorie, Emmanuel Utaka, Umar Ada

👤 Head coach: Mbwas Mangut Ayuba

Katsina United: form and statistics

Katsina United returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win over Wikki Tourist in their last game. Usman Barau scored the only goal of the game in the 15th minute. Prior to the win, they had lost 1-0 to Abia Warriors, but their overall season performance has been great. They started the season losing 1-0 to newly promoted Warri Wolves, but that didn’t affect their motivation as they quickly returned to winning ways with 2-1 and 1-0 wins over Plateau United and Kano Pillars, respectively. The Changi Boys have now won three of their five games this season, sitting 4th on the table with nine points in five games, having scored four goals and conceded three.

Katsina United: Team News and Lineup

Katsina United will continue their excellent run this season, and with no injuries reported in their last game, I think Joshua Enaholo will continue in his role in the goalkeeping department, and Sadiq Auwal will remain in the attack.

Katsina United Expected Lineup

Joshua Enaholo, Kabir Jinadu, Philip Ogwuche, Ejike Uzoechi, Daniel Agara, Innocent Arigu, Usman Barau, Christopher Ezinwa, Azeez Falolu, Uche Collins, Sadiq Auwal

👤 Head coach: Azeez Audu Mohammed

Nasarawa United vs Katsina United match prediction, 28 September 2025

Katsina United have managed to win one of their two away games this season, but playing against Nasarawa United is another tough challenge they would have wished to avoid at this point in the season. The two sides have always maintained dominance on their home ground and I won't be surprise if the hosts find a way to win this game. Similarly, I expect a low-scoring game here because the head-to-head trends of both sides tend towards this result.
