The Peace Boys picked have now gone back-to-back games without a breakthrough, although those games were played away from home. Plateau United suffered their fifth defeat of the season, this time at the hands of Shooting Stars on the road. The Peace Boys were solid defensively from the start of the game and held their opponent to a share of the spoils at the break. The second half was almost going to end the same route until Shooting Stars found the back of the net in the last few seconds. It was a devastating result, especially considering how they managed to hold on against such a strong opponent. 

Plateau United, who have now won twice and lost five, have secured six points from a combined twenty-one. Plateau United have also conceded eight while finding the back of the net five times since the NPFL Season. 

The Peace Boys have lost just once in their last fifteen games on their home ground.

The newly promoted side couldn’t maintain their momentum as they were stunned at home by the Warri Wolves. Intending to pick up their second win of the season, Barau FC conceded in the 30th minute and were searching for an equaliser. Salisu was substituted in the 38th minute, making the matter worse in front of their home ground. It didn’t get better after the break as they were reduced to ten men, and it is now impossible for a comeback. The (0-1) loss was a terrible performance, and it’s going to hurt their confidence in the long run. 

The Maliya Boys, who got promoted this season, have picked up five points from a combined eighteen, scoring four and conceding seven times. Barau FC is a newly formed team, and they’ll be keen to secure their first-ever home win since promotion.

Plateau United vs Barau FC match prediction 12 October 2025

The Maliya Boys suffered their third loss since the league began; this time, it was a disappointing defeat on their home ground. Barau FC have not been themselves lately, and they'll be keen to rewrite their mistake in Jos tomorrow. Meanwhile, Plateau United suffered their fifth defeat of the season, and no other team have lost more than them this campaign. They are one of the three sides yet to taste a stalemate since the league began, as they sit comfortably in eighteenth spot on their log. 

Plateau United rarely loses on their home ground, but they face a tough test against a side who are also looking to rebound from their terrible run. 

This game won’t produce lots of goals as both teams rarely score goals; however, Plateau United are the favourite to amass all the points. Plateau United welcome one of their attackers, and this is a positive news, especially after they have struggled to score these days. 

My match prediction is Plateau United and under 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.01 on the 1xbet bookmaker. 

My betting tip on this match is for Plateau United to score before the break with a coefficient of 2.01 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

My final betting tip is a correct score of (2-0) for 4.65 on the Betway bookmaker. 

Good luck!
