Bayelsa United vs Heartland Owerri Prediction: We expect more than two goals in this crucial game

Bayelsa United will be keen to return to winning ways when they face off against Heartland Owerri at the Samson Siasia Stadium on Wednesday. Diepreye Teibowei's men have regained their confidence, having gone two games without a win, but must weary against a team whose salary has been slashed due to a series of bad results. 

Last five games: LLLWD

Diepreye Teibowei's men have been underperforming lately but head here with a comeback (2-1) victory over Kano Pillars and a share of the spoils against title contenders Lobi Stars on the road. These results have given them hope in their quest to survive relegation this season. 

Bayelsa United moved to 18th place on the log, having picked up thirty-one points from a combined eighty-one. This host have lost the second most games in the division and have conceded thirty-seven times, the second-highest in the division.

Just when they thought they were about to recover from their recent misfortunes, Heartland Owerri head here with back-to-back defeats in the division. After losing to Rivers on the road, they suffered a defeat against league leaders away from home. 

Eight-time NPFL winners fight for survival as they occupy the last spot on the log. Unfortunately, Heartland Owerri might be on their way to Division Two, as they have won four times this season. Heartland Owerri still languish at the bottom of the log, having secured twenty-three points from a combined eighty-one.

Heartland Owerri have lost four and drawn nine away from home this season.

Both teams have won a game apiece, with a match ending in a tie over their previous three meetings. Bayelsa United did the unthinkable on the road in their most recent game, sharing the spoils against a solid Lobi Stars. They recently won on their ground against Kano Pillars, and we are sure they’ll do it again. However, they have a tough test when they host a team whose salary has been slashed by 50% until they return to winning ways. The home side are aware, and we believe they are well-motivated to secure a halftime victory for 2.22.

The visitors might get a goal here as well; bet on BTTS for 2.15.

We expect the hosts to win and score more than once for 1.89.

Good luck!
