The Ikon Allah Boys won three consecutive matches for the second time this season, scoring ten while conceding twice. The visiting side jumped to 9th place on the log following their decent performances lately. Niger Tornadoes pulled up a strong display against a Gombe United side, scoring five times without conceding at home. It was an unbelievable victory and such only occurs once in two years. Ikon Allah Boys are back fighting for the top-four finish in the division and must win here to keep their hope alive. Niger Tornadoes have won two, drawn twice, and lost nine games on their ground this season. 

Over their previous nine meetings, Niger Tornadoes have won three while Akwa United have recorded six victories. The hosts have been poor lately, losing twice over their last four games on their home turf. Unlike the visitors, who have been impressive in their previous three games, scoring ten and conceding twice. Even though we are aware that the hosts are the favorite, Niger Tornadoes are not to be underestimated. I would rather settle for goals here because the visitors will at least fight for a point; bet on BTTS for 2.33.

We expect both sides to settle for a halftime stalemate for 2.10.

A win and over 2.5 goals for any side might surface here for 2.17.

Good luck!
