Enyimba Aba vs Heartland Owerri Prediction: The People’s Elephant will run riot against their opponent

On Sunday, the People’s Elephant will face off against Heartland Owerri at the Enyimba International Stadium. If all the other results go their way, Enyimba could assume the top spot with a victory over their struggling opponent here. 

Last five games: LWLWL

The People’s Elephants have been inconsistent on the road lately and rely heavily on home form to rack up points. More recently, they suffered a shocking defeat away from home as they were beaten by Lobi Stars. The defeat means Enyimba have now lost four consecutive games on the road. 

Finidi George's men have lost eleven times this season but are just three points below the league leaders. Enyimba Aba have picked up forty-eight points from a combined eighty-seven this season, scoring thirty-five and conceding twenty-five. 

Enyimba Aba have twelve eight, lost once, and drawn a game at home this season.

Eight-time NPFL winners fight for survival as they occupy the last spot on the log and march here with a deserved (3-1) victory on the road. Unfortunately, Heartland Owerri are on their way to Division Two, as they have won five times this season. Heartland Owerri still languish at the bottom of the log, having secured twenty-seven points from a combined eighty-seven.

Heartland Owerri have lost ten and drawn four in their last fourteen away games this season.

Enyimba have won twice, while Heartland Owerri have recorded five victories and four games ending in a tie over their previous twelve meetings. Enyimba Aba have struggled against the visitors in recent years, but the Heartland Owerri have had a terrible season. The hosts are desperate to retain the NPFL title, and with a win here, they’ll close the gap at the top of the log. However, it’ll be tough against a side who have only conceded more than a goal margin twice on the road this season. We think this will be a close contest, and the hosts will win before the break for 1.93.

We expect the visitors to get a goal at least here; bet on BTTS for 2.79.

This game might end in a total of over 2.5 goals since the visitors are capable of getting a goal. 

Good luck!
