Nasarawa United vs Abia Warriors Prediction: Take home team in this fixture

Lafia Township Stadium will host the NPFL round 7 encounter between Nasarawa United and Abia Warriors. The last meeting between these two teams ended in a win for the home side. How will this encounter unfold?

Nasarawa United's last league encounter was against Remo Stars, and they lost 3-0. Nasarawa United held their opponent to a goalless draw at halftime in that game. However, three second-half goals for Remo Stars were enough to seal maximum points for their opponent. This season, Nasarawa United have one win, coming against Ikorodu City. However, this team lost to El Kanemi Warriors, playing to draws with Bayelsa United, Niger Tornadoes, and Shooting Stars. 

Abia Warriors' last league encounter was against Kwara United and they won. In that encounter, in the 59th minute, Kazeem Ogunleye's strike was the difference, securing Abia Warriors' second win of the season. However, Abia Warriors have won two matches this season, one other against Kano Pillars. This season, Abia Warriors have 8 points from a possible 18 and sit 9th in the NPFL standings. 

The two teams' history has ended in goals, and this should also be a high-scoring game. At home, Nasarawa United have failed to win this season, and while Abia Warriors have been playing a bit better lately, their overall performance still needs improvement. The two teams have things to improve on in attack and defense. Therefore, I am backing the two teams to score while the home team secures a win.
