Sunshine Stars vs Enyimba Prediction: Sunshine Stars to pick a win

Onikan Stadium in Lagos will play host to the Super Six round six action between Sunshine Stars and Enyimba. Enyimba will, at least, be hoping to keep their unbeaten record alive when they take on Sunshine Stars, who have yet to pick up a win in any of the first three matches of this championship.

Sunshine Stars - the Akure squad must show character

Sunshine Stars will have to control their fate coming into this encounter, as a loss or possibly an inability to pick up a win here could show signs of an impossibility to win the NPFL 2022–2023 season. After beginning their Super Six campaign with a loss at the hands of Rivers United, they were able to salvage a tie in their second meeting against Bendel Insurance by playing better than they had in the first game. In the meantime, Sunshine Stars battled back from a goal down to earn a draw in their most recent match against Remo Stars. Lucky Gyang Emmanuel's goal in the 46th minute of the second half was the equalizer that brought the score to a tie. Despite this, Sunshine Stars only have two points so far this season, which places them in the fifth spot in the standings for the NPFL Championship Group.

Enyimba - time for the visiting side to cement their spot

Despite having the same number of points as Rivers United, who are currently in second place, Enyimba are currently in first place in the standings for the NPFL Championship Group. Enyimba are unbeaten in their first three opening matches in the Super Six, picking up draws against Remo Stars in the first matchup, while their most recent meeting with Bendel also ended in a draw. However, a victory over Lobi Stars was a huge lift for them, and thanks to a great defensive performance that followed Emeka Obioma's goal in the 16th minute of the first half of the match, they were able to pull it off. However, during those matches, Enyimba scored four goals while only allowing three to be scored against them.

Head-Head Statistics

Enyimba came out on top in four of their most recent matchups, while the other two were draws. In those encounters, Enyimba scored eight goals, while Sunshine Stars only scored one.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite Sunshine Stars' previous mediocre performances versus Enyimba, it is still in their best interest to triumph this time. My prediction is that there will be goals in this battle despite the fact that neither team will have an edge because they will be playing on their own turf. As a result, Sunshine Stars emerged victorious with a score of 2-1, and I have no doubt that they will give their all in an effort to regain their position atop the standings.
