Niger Tornadoes vs Plateau United Prediction: We expect less than two goals in this encounter

Niger Tornadoes will face off against Plateau United in the North Central Derby at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium on Sunday. The visitors have not won against Niger Tornadoes in Minna before, and it’ll take a lot for them to get a goal here. 

Niger Tornadoes (16th)

Last five games: DLWLD

The Ikon Allah Boys head here with a share of the spoils against Remo Stars on their ground. For the third time this season, they failed to score at home. Their toothless stalemate means they remain on their ground this season. 

Following their excellent start to the season, their last five games have been somewhat poor, and they must secure the maximum points here to move out of the relegation zone.

Niger Tornadoes have won three and drawn three at home this season.

Plateau United (10th)

Last five games: DWLLW

Plateau United returned to winning ways with a resilience performance against Enugu Rangers. Plateau United needed a goal in the 94th minute to secure the maximum points on their ground. The result was an excellent relief for Plateau United, who lost back-to-back games.  

Plateau United are winless in their last twelve games on the road and have scored just once on the road this season.
