Bayelsa United vs Niger Tornadoes Prediction: The home team will take maximum points

Samson Siasia Sports Stadium will host the Nigeria Professional Football League game between Bayelsa United and Niger Tornadoes. The two teams could not secure a win in their last league game. How will they respond this time?

Bayelsa United lost 1-0 last weekend against Shooting Stars and will hope to turn the tables. In that game, Anthony Okachi's 16th-minute Anthony Okachi strike was enough to seal maximum points for his side. However, Bayelsa United went unbeaten in three matches before that defeat, drawing Katsina United and Enyimba International while picking a win over Rivers United. With 14 points, Bayelsa United sit 16th in the standings, scoring eight goals and conceding 14. 

Niger Tornadoes settled for a goalless draw with Ikorodu City the previous weekend and will hope to get a win this time. However, Niger Tornadoes have lost only once in their last matches, coming against El Kanemi Warriors, ending 1-0 in a road game. In other encounters, this team defeated Shooting Stars and Akwa United while settling for a 1-1 draw with Katsina United. With 18 points from 13 matches, the visiting team sit 8th in the standings, scoring 11 goals and conceding 10. 

The visiting Niger Tornadoes are playing better looking at this fixture, but it is tough to write Bayelsa United off in this game. While the two teams have differences, being at home is a big boost for Bayelsa United, working so hard to return to winning ways. While Niger Tornadoes are a top side, I expect them to show a lot of defensive quality, and a win for the home team with few goals is a good option.
