Shooting Stars (2nd)

Last five games: WWWWD

The Oluyole Warriors, who were tipped to challenge Remo Stars for the NPFL title this season, have been pretty terrible lately, heading here without a breakthrough in seven consecutive games. 

It’s so sad to see one of the strongest teams in the league struggle as they head here with back-to-back defeats. Recently, they were beaten neatly by Akwa United on the road. This was after their narrow loss against Katsina United away from home. 

Since their (1-0) victory over Bendel Insurance, Shooting Stars have lost four and drawn three in the division. It’s a terrible feeling in the camp of Oluyole Warriors, who head here with another disappointing display. 

The Oluyole Warriors have picked up forty-three points from a combined eighty-seven, scoring twenty-six and conceding twenty-four. Shooting Stars have won ten and drawn four over their previous fourteen home matches.

Niger Tornadoes (10th)

Last five games: WWLW

The Ikon Allah Boys recovered fully from their disappointing back-to-back loss, as they secured the maximum points against Katsina United. Despite the difficulty surrounding their home games, Sunday Williams scored an 84th-minute goal to win the game for his side. This was after their defeats against Rivers United and Enyimba Aba. 

Niger Tornadoes moved to the tenth spot on the log after their most recent home triumph.

The Ikon Allah Boys have picked up forty points from a combined eighty-seven, scoring thirty-six and conceding thirty-four.  

Niger Tornadoes have won four, lost eight, and drawn twice on the road this campaign.

Expert Betting Tips

Shooting Stars have won four, while Niger Tornadoes have recorded five wins over their last nine meetings. Shooting Stars have been below par lately, heading here without a win in seven consecutive league matches. Their last win was against Bendel Insurance on their home turf. They have a challenging game against a Niger Tornadoes side, who are the fourth-best away side on the form table. 

Shooting stars are known for controlling games at home, and after playing seven consecutive games without a breakthrough, I expect them to bounce back here.

Despite their terrible run in seven consecutive games, just two games were played on their turf in that period. 

Shooting Stars will likely win and score less than three goals as the guests will play more defensively; bet on a home win and under 3.5 goals for 1.85 at (Betway).

I also think Shooting Stars will score before the break for 2.07 at (1xbet).

A correct score of (2-0) might surface here for 4.75 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
