Plateau United vs Bayelsa United Prediction: Expect many goals in this game

Nigeria Professional Football League action at Jos International Stadium will see Plateau United play Bayelsa United. Off to this game, neither team could secure a win in their last league contest. Which team gets back to winning ways? Below, I preview this game and offer best betting opportunities. 

Plateau United

Plateau United ended on the losing end against Ikorodu City the previous time out and will hope for a better result here. In a game that ended 2-1, their opponent came from behind to take a win, with second-half strikes from Abdulmalik Olatunji and Tosin Oyedokun denying them a point at full time. However, Plateau United have not lost any of their last ten home matches, winning seven of those encounters. Plateau United have scored in eight of their last home matches, amounting to seventeen goals, while conceding five. 

Bayelsa United

Bayelsa United's last league game was against Nasarawa United and they settled for a 2-2 draw. In that encounter, Bayelsa United went behind twice in the first half and needed Ifeanyi Ogba's last-minute strike to avoid a defeat after Rabiu Abdullahi's goal in the first half. In the meantime, Bayelsa United head into this game without a win in their last four matches, losing to Kwara United in that run. Away from home, Bayelsa United have not won any of their last five matches. The visitors sit 15th in the standings with 30 points, leaving them 15th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

The two teams have not shown competitiveness this season and they need to do better to take a point at the end. While playing at home, Plateau United come in well favoured. However, Bayelsa United as a team cannot be written off looking at how competitive they have been lately. Yet, Plateau United are a completely different and hot side at home this season and I expect them to win. However, I feel Bayelsa United will not give in easily and should score.
