Enyimba Aba vs Lobi Stars Prediction: The People’s Elephant will maintain their decent home record

On Wednesday, the People’s Elephant will face off against Lobi Stars in the second league game of the season at the Enyimba International Stadium. The hosts endured a tough match against their opponent in the CAF Confederation Cup, and they’ll be poised to adjust against a formidable opponent tomorrow. 

The People’s Elephant began their league journey with a (1-3) victory over Heartland Owerri in the Oriental Derby. After a quiet halftime without a breakthrough, Enyimba Aba conceded after 54th minutes of play; however, new signing Clinton Jephta inspired just the team to a (1-3) victory, scoring a brace against an arch-rival. 

The Eastern-based team and two-time CAF Champions League winners have had mixed seasons. They wrapped up their campaign in third place despite spending most of their time at the league's top. 

Olarenwaju’s men have engaged in so many competitive games to prepare them for the season ahead, and we expect them to get off to a flying start here.

The Bauchi-based team have failed to win their first two games of the season, settling for a (0-0) stalemate at home against Akwa United and losing (0-1) against Rivers United. It’s unfortunate that both games were played on their home turf. Things haven’t been going in the right direction for the guests with a win over their last five games. 

Lobi Stars are aware that a win here would give them the confidence to surge ahead in the long run, and we expect them to approach this game aggressively. 

The Yes Father Boys have failed to win any of their last ten games on the road. 

Over their previous nineteen meetings, Lobi Stars have won four while Enyimba Aba have won eight and seven games ending in a tie. The hosts head here after successfully advancing to the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup. After their travel, they have a few days to prepare for this match, but we still expect them to perform at the highest level here. It has been a close call between both teams in recent fixtures, but we expect the hosts to score before the break for 1.75.

We anticipate over 2.5 goals here for 2.15.

We believe the hosts will score in both halves for 2.43.

Good luck!
