Akwa United vs Shooting Stars Prediction: The visitors will at least get a goal here

The Promise Keeper Boys will host Shooting Stars at the Eket Stadium on Sunday. Akwa United have won their last seven home matches against Shooting Stars, which will give them the chance of getting the maximum points here.

The 2020-2021 champions have had a terrible start to the season, as they have gone three games without a win. After their opening day (5-3) defeat against Bayelsa, Akwa United settled for a share of the spoils against newly promoted Sporting Lagos. More recently, they almost came from a two-goal deficit to secure the maximum points over Enyimba, but the Elephants scored after the break despite settling for a (2-2) draw at the break.

Akwa failed to impress in the championship round last season after finishing fourth in group A with thirty-two points from a possible fifty-four.

Fatai Osho men always start strong; however, with three games without a breakthrough, we expect a solid performance from them here.

The Oluyole Warriors picked up their first win of the season, defeating Plateau United (2-1). Ayobami Junior drew the first blood at halftime, and Anaya Ogbonna extended the lead before a consolation goal from the visitors. The result was followed by a (2-0) away defeat against Bendel Insurance. The contest was marred with defensive errors as Ghali Falke put the ball in his own net in the 21st minute before the home side doubled the lead after the break. More recently, the Oluyole Warriors came from a goal down against Gombe United to record a deserving win.

Shooting Stars have managed one win in their thirteen games away from home.

Their previous ten meetings have seen Shooting Stars with three wins while Akwa United have won five and two games ending in a draw. The Promise Keepers have produced some excellent performances on the road this season but are yet to score at home, although they’ve only played a game. The visitors have a terrible record against Akwa on the road, and it’ll be interesting to see how they break the seven-game winless jinx at Eket Stadium tomorrow. The home side are the favourites, but we expect to see more than two goals here for 2.27.

We expect the home team to win at the break for 1.85.

This encounter will produce a BTTS for 2.70.

Good luck!
