Kano Pillars vs Heartland Owerri Prediction: Sai Masu Gida Boys will dominate this encounter

The Sai Masu Gida Boys will return to their famous Sani Abacha Stadium after renovations to host Heartland Owerri on Sunday. The guests will be hopeful of recording four consecutive league wins for the first time since 2015, while Kano Pillars will strive to make their newly renovated home turf a fortress.

The Sai Masu Gida Boys secured a back-to-back win for the first time in this campaign as they moved to fifth place on the log. After a toothless display at halftime, the oldest player in the division gave his side the lead when he converted his penalty in the 99th minute. This was after their (2-1) victory over Plateau United on their home turf, snatching the win at the jaws of defeat as Rabiu Ali and Ahmed Musa scored late in front of their passionate supporters. 

Kano Pillars have picked up seventeen points from a combined thirty-three, scoring fourteen and conceding thirteen. 

Coach Usman Abdallah will be determined to replicate their recent decent performance on their home turf against the home team.

The Nazi Millionaire vacates the relegation zone following their three consecutive wins in the league. Emmanuel Amunike's men scored once against Sunshine Stars to amass all the points just after their (0-2) victory over Abia Warriors in the Oriental Derby. The win was inspired by an incredible display from goalkeeper Ebuka Nwokoecha. 

Heartland Owerri continues their resurgence in the league, marching here with five clean sheets over their previous seven matches. They have picked up fifteen points from a combined thirty-three, scoring nine and conceding nine. Amuneke's men will be keen to do better on the road, having lost just once in three away matches. 

Over their previous fifteen meetings, Kano Pillars have won seven while Heartland have managed four wins and four games ending in a tie. Kano Pillars have been up and running lately, marching here with just a defeat in their previous five matches. They are sky-high in confidence following their recent away win and can’t wait to kickstart this game on their newly reformed home ground against the Naze Millionaires.

Kano Pillars fans will troop in numbers to support their team, having played most of their recent home games in Katsina State. Even though the guests can’t be underestimated, I think the fans will make the difference here; bet on home to score before the break for 1.78.

I also anticipate a BTTS here since six of their previous eight meetings have witnessed a goal apiece.

I believe this game will produce more than two goals for 2.20.

Good luck!
