Sporting Lagos vs Kwara United Prediction: We expect a defensive display from the visitors

In Lagos on Sunday, Sporting Lagos will lock horns against Kwara United at the Onikan Stadium. The hosts who are fighting for survival have been impressive in recent games at home, while the visitors are one of the strongest teams away from home this season. 

Last five games: LWDWL

The Noisy Lagosians couldn’t maintain their momentum as they were beaten by Niger Tornadoes on the road. They conceded from the spot kick at the beginning of the encounter and failed to find their rhythm. Before then, they ran riot against one of the contenders for the title, Remo Stars, scoring four while conceding once. 

Sporting Lagos, who brought out the cheque to sign players during the transfer window have paid off with the new recruits doing well for the hosts. Sporting Lagos have picked up thirty one points in their last twenty-six games, scoring twenty four and conceding twenty-five. Sporting Lagos have drawn four and won eight on their ground this season. 

Last five matches: DDLDW

The Northern-based side recorded their first win in six games as they scored once to secure the maximum points against Bayelsa United. Before then, they had gone five games with four stalemates and a defeat. 

Kwara United have drawn the most games on the road this season but are yet to register a win in twelve games. They currently sit in the relegation zone and only a win could save them here. 

The reverse leg ended in a (2-1) victory for Kwara United on their ground. Sporting Lagos have been pretty solid on their ground but have not really replicated such form on the road. They match here with another defeat away from home and will be determined to bounce back in front of their home supporters. At the same time, Kwara United always fight for a point when they play on the road and have drawn the most games away from home. Kwara United are going through a tough time and have managed a win in their last six games. 

Sporting Lagos have made their own turf their refuge since they have refused to secure points on the road. They’ll be confident of extending their winning streak; bet on home win for 1.70.

We expect this game to produce less goals; bet on total under 2.5 goals for 1.46.

We expect both teams to settle for a halftime draw for 1.86.

Good luck!
