Bayelsa United vs Plateau United Prediction: The two teams will look to show character

Samson Siasia Sports Stadium will host the Nigeria Professional Football League game between Bayelsa United and Plateau United. We have a split win in the first two games of this fixture. How will this encounter unfold?

Bayelsa United played Nasarawa United the previous weekend, settling for a goalless draw. In that encounter, Bayelsa United had 42 percent of the possession, attempting 12 shots, with only one on target, which they could not convert. In the meantime, Bayelsa United are struggling so much, with zero victories in five matches. This season, Bayelsa United have three points from a possible 15, leaving them seated 19th in the standings, scoring two goals and conceding six.

Plateau United are coming off a victory over Ikorodu City, a game that ended 1-0. In that encounter, Vincent Temitope’s goal was the difference, converting only one of the three shots on target for Plateau United. However, prior encounters to that win saw Plateau United give three matches without a win, losing one and drawing two. Plateau United head into this game with 8 points from their first five matches, scoring six goals and conceding five. 

This is a tricky game, looking at the two teams' performances. Bayelsa United have been winless this season, while Plateau United have much to give offensively. We should witness a close game, as their previous meetings also suggest. However, on the road, I expect Plateau United to take a point, an encounter that should end with goals.
