Abia Warriors vs Kano Pillars Prediction: The guests won’t bow without a fight

Having gone three games without a breakthrough, Abia Warriors will be poised to start strong when they host Kano Pillars at the Umuahia Stadium on Sunday. Both teams will be poised to secure the maximum points, especially after failing to win their last two games.

The Pride of Abia settled for a back-to-back stalemate as they sit in 15th place on the log. More recently, Abia Warriors failed to find the back of the net in a (0-0) share of the spoils against Sunshine Stars. They have now gone three games without a win and must be at their best here to amass all the points. 

Abia Warriors escaped relegation last season, wrapping up their campaign in 12th place, six points above the relegation zone. They also lost the Aiteo FA Cup to newly promoted side El Kanemi Warriors. It was a disastrous season for the former NPFL winner and they must avoid such a run this time. 

Abia Warriors rely heavily on their home form to rack up points in the previous season, losing just once in nineteen league matches, and Coach Erasmus Onuh’s side will look to keep that record running. 

The guest suffered their first defeat of the season, surrendering to a (0-2) loss on their ground. Kano Pillars conceded twice against Remo Stars, failing to convert their chances. Kano Pillars, who have had a great form on their ground, couldn’t find the back of the net against Remo Stars. This was after their (1-1) stalemate on the road against Bayelsa United. 

Kano Pillars had a terrible season, wrapping up their campaign in the 11th spot. Kano Pillars picked up fifty-two points from a combined thirty-eight matches. 

The new coach, Usman Abdallah, will be determined to get off to a flying start away from home tomorrow. 

Abia Warriors have won seven games, while Kano Pillars Stars have recorded eight victories and three games ending in a tie over their last eighteen meetings. Abia Warriors failed to impress last season, spending most of their time in the relegation zone. They have picked up from where they stopped last season and might struggle against the guests who can be dangerous on the road. We anticipate an open game with goals at both ends for 2.18.

This game will witness more goals after the break for 2.10.

We believe the guests will win either half for 2.40.

Good luck!
