Abia Warriors vs Niger Tornadoes Prediction: The home team will take the maximum points

At Umuahia Main Stadium, Abia Warriors will play Niger Tornadoes in round 16 of the Nigeria Professional Football League. The last meeting between these sides was in this venue, and Abia Warriors won. How will Niger Tornadoes approach this game?

Abia Warriors' last league game at home was against Katsina United, and they won. In a match that ended 2-0, Abia Warriors scored in each half, with Ijoma Antonie and Adejoh Ojonugwa striking for this side. In the meantime, Abia Warriors' last encounters saw them lose to Shooting Stars, Lobi Stars, and Rivers United. However, their encounter against Enyimba ended 1-1. With 18 points from 15 matches, Abia Warriors sit 15th spot with 12 goals scored and 17 conceded. 

Niger Tornadoes last encounter was against Remo Stars, and they secured a win. In a game that ended 2-1, Joseph Godstime and Daniel Papa netted two first-half goals. However, in prior encounters to that win, this team went winless in three games. In that run, Niger Tornadoes lost to El Kanemi Warriors and Bayelsa United while drawing Ikorodu City. With 21 points, Niger Tornadoes sit 8th in the standings, scoring 14 goals and conceding 15. 

Niger Tornadoes and Abia Warriors are playing closely at the same level. While Niger Tornadoes have had a good level of play this season, their performances on the road are below par. While Abia Warriors are doing well in home games, winning three of their last five, I expect so much from them. This should be a close game, as both teams have struggled defensively. Expect goals from both teams, but a win for Abia Warriors at home is certain.
