Plateau United vs Shooting Stars Prediction: The guests can’t be underestimated

Plateau United will lock horns against Shooting Stars at the Jos International Stadium on Sunday. Ayuba Mangut's men have lost just one home game this season, and they will be confident that the guests' unbeaten run will end tomorrow. 

Plateau United (16th)

The hosts have been pretty poor lately, heading here with a win in over five games. More recently, they suffered a slim (1-0) loss against Katsina United on the road. It was a disappointing defeat as they played well and deserved a point at least. This was after their (2-1) victory over Rivers United at home. 

They have picked up twenty-three points from a combined sixty-three, scoring twenty and conceding twenty-three. 

Plateau United have won seven, lost twice and drawn once at home this season. 

Shooting Stars (3rd)

The Oluyole Warriors continue their winning streak in the league, defeating Nasarawa United (2-0) at home. It was a smooth sail for Shooting Stars who found the back of the net twice and also kept a clean sheet. Before then, they cruised to a (1-0) victory as Adam Mustapha scored the only goal that won his side the maximum point at home against Kwara United. 

Shooting Stars have won six consecutive matches in the division. It’s a good feeling in the camp of Oluyole Warriors, who head here with another excellent display against a formidable opponent. 

The Oluyole Warriors have scored thirty-six points from a combined sixty, scoring twenty and conceding thirteen. Shooting Stars have won twice, lost six, and drawn a game on the road this season.

Expert Betting Tips

The last ten meetings have seen Plateau United with three victories, while Shooting Stars have recorded three wins and four games ending in a share of the spoils. The race to survive relegation this season will be brutal, and teams will be careful not to lose at home. The hosts have been struggling to win games lately, and they have one of their toughest tests against a Shooting Stars side who have won six consecutive victories. 

Plateau United are still the favourite on their ground, but I feel the guests will give them a run for their money; bet on an away win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.40 at (Betway).

I also think both teams are capable of getting a goal apiece; bet on BTTS for 2.11 at (Bet365).

This game could end in a stalemate as the guests will likely defend and maintain their unbeaten run; bet on a full-time stalemate for 3.00 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
