Shooting Stars vs Abia Warriors FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 19 October 2025

The Oluyole Warriors, who have been in decent form in recent weeks, will be keen to maintain their momentum when they lock horns against Abia Warriors at the Adamasingba Stadium on Sunday. Meanwhile, the guests will strive to end the hosts' undefeated run, especially after their recent victory at home.

The Oluyole Warriors continue their decent run in the division after a poor start as they picked up an essential point in Kano. The controversial share of the spoils was the talk of round 9 as Shooting Stars were harassed by Kano Pillars fans. The game began with Kano Pillars asking all the questions, and in the 8th minute, the hosts took the lead. Shooting Stars tried their best to respond before the break, but the hosts were excellent defensively. Kano Pilaats continued to control the game and were looking for another goal to seal the win, unfortunately, Shooting Stars scored in the 94th minute to amass all the points. Kano Pillars did score, but their goals were chopped off, which led to a violent attack on Shooting Stars by the away fans. 

As usual, Shooting Stars conceded for the fourth consecutive game, and the Oluyole Warriors sustained their unbeaten run. 

The Oluyole Warriors have conceded in seven of their last eight games this season, and it’s a huge concern for Aweroro comrades. Shooting Stars have accumulated twelve points from a combined twenty-four, scoring eight and conceding seven times. 

The Oluyole Warriors have been below par across their last four games at home, sharing the spoils once, losing a game and winning twice.

The Oluyole Warriors have been in decent shape lately, especially in front of goal. Ayodele started from the bench against Kano Pillars while Abiodun took his spot; it could be the other way round this time on their ground. 

Shooting Stars Potential Lineup (4-3-3)

Lawal—Adelowo, Ameen, Utin, Falke—Adeloju, Azeez, Azeez—ABIODUN, Ibrahim, Awosanmi

The Pride of Abia are one of the teams tipped to win the NPFL this season, considering their grit and determination. Abia Warriors recovered quickly from their disappointing loss in the Oriental Derby against former champions Enugu Rangers. Abia Warriors put two goals past a solid El Kanemi Warriors on their turf. It was Casmir Azubuike's show as the winger found the back of the net twice to secure the maximum advantage for his side at the break. The second half didn’t live up to expectations as both teams failed to penetrate their boxes. Before the game, Abia Warriors were stunned on the road, conceding twice without a response. 

Abia Warriors picked up fifteen points from the eight NPFL games, moving to second place on the standings. Despite their decent start to the campaign, Abia Warriors will not feature in this season's CAF Confederation Cup after being knocked out a few weeks ago. In terms of goals, Abia Warriors found the back of the net seven times (7) while conceding two goals (4). 

Abia Warriors were one of the best teams on their ground, with eight consecutive home wins. However, they have managed just one win on the road since April this year.

Coach Imama Amapakabo is a very meticulous tactician, and if it warrants him to sit back here, he’d do that to at least return home with a point. 

Abia Warriors Potential Lineup (4-4-2)

Odah–Jibrin, Ogbuagu, Innocent, Adekunle–Kangeshima, Abdullahi, Obioma, Azubuike–Lawal, Megwo

Shooting Stars vs Abia Warriors FC match prediction 19 October 2025

Shooting Stars have improved massively lately, although they head here after their lucky stalemate against Kano Pillars on the road. They were totally focused against their guests, and they’ll be motivated to amass all the points later tomorrow. On the other hand, Abia Warriors bounced back from their loss against Enugu Rangers a few days back. 

The Pride of Aba can’t be entirely ruled out, even though they have a terrible record against Shooting Stars. The hosts are gradually building momentum, even though they lack coordination at the back. Shooting Stars rarely keep a clean sheet, while the guests hardly score on the road. 

This is one of the high-scoring meetings in the NPFL, and I can’t imagine a game of this calibre without goals in it. 

My match prediction is for Shooting Stars FC to win or draw and score more than a goal, with a coefficient of 1.86 on the Betway bookmaker.

My betting tip on this match is a home win with a coefficient of 1.71 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My final betting tip on this game is a BTTS for a coefficient of 2.60 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Good luck!
