Akwa United vs Kano Pillars Prediction: This encounter won’t deny us goals

Akwa United will be hosting Kano Pillars in what promises to be an exciting encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Sunday. The home side are in terrible form and will be looking to secure their first win of the season from this game to vacate the relegation zone in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) table.

Fatai Osho’s men have had a terrible start to the season, as they have gone three games without a win. They bowed to pressure in front of their away supporters against Rivers United Stars despite being (1-1) up till like 84 minutes. Things haven’t been going in the right direction for coach Fatai Osho, and a defeat here could cost him his job. It’s imperative to know that Akwa United are yet to secure a win since the season began. They have managed two stalemates over their previous five matches. 

The Promise Keepers will be keen to secure their first home win against their opponent tomorrow.

Ahmed Musa inspired his team to a (2-0) victory as the former Super Eagles captain scored a brace. The former CSKA Moscow announced his return to his former club with a goal each in both halves and also missing a penalty. It was a total dominance from Kano Pillars against ten men Sunshine Stars at home. The result was after their (2-0) loss against Abia Warriors away from home. 

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. 

Usman Abdallah's team have been boosted by the return of Ahmed Muso and Shehu Abdullah, and we expect a decent display against Akwa United tomorrow.

Head-to-Head Statistics

In their last eighteen meetings, Akwa United have won eight games, and Kano Pillars have won five with five games ending in a tie. The recent meeting between the two teams ended in a (0-3) victory for Akwa United. Akwa United have also won all their home games against Kano Pillars. 

Based on their head-to-head statistics, Akwa United have a slight advantage over Kano Pillars; however, the hosts have been below par this season. They’ll face a new look Kano Pillars with an experienced striker, Ahmed Musa. It’s not going to be a smooth sail for Akwa United, who have lost three consecutive matches in the league, and we believe the guests will likely get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.50.

We think this encounter won’t be a cagey one as both teams will be keen to express themselves; bet on BTTS and over 2.5 goals for 3.96.

We anticipate a halftime stalemate for both sides for 1.95.

Good luck!
