The Oluyole Warriors have been in decent form this season and head here with a slim (1-0) victory over Kano Pillars. Before then, they almost snatched three points on the road against Kwara United until Kwara United scored in the 89th minute to cancel Malomo Taofeek's early lead.

The result means Shooting Stars will retain their spot on the log after picking seventeen points from a possible twenty-seven. The home team have also scored thirteen times while conceding ten this season. Shooting Stars have won twice and lost two on the road this campaign.

Over their previous eight meetings, Lobi Stars have won four, while Shooting Stars have managed three wins and a game ending in a deadlock.

On the other end, Shooting Stars will hope for another defensive display when they face off at Nasarawa tomorrow. The home side are our favorite pick here as they’ll be desperate to bounce back; bet on a home win for 1.61.

We expect the hosts to win before the break for 2.09.

This game will end in a total of under 2.5 goals for 1.50.

Good luck!
