Last five games: WLWWD

The hosts have now gone three games without a defeat for just the second time this season. Kano Pillars march here with one of their best away performances this campaign with a (1-1) stalemate against title contender Lobi Stars. Kano Pillars cancelled the home side's early lead just before the break, which was enough to hand them a point. 

Kano Pillars have always been a great team on their own turf, winning eight and losing just once in their previous nine games. Kano Pillars could challenge for the title this season, and we think they’ll score more than two goals here.

The visitors have at least improved their home record but are yet to win away from home this season. Heartland Owerri's head march here with one of the best wins of the season, scoring three and conceding once. Heartland Owerri still languish at the bottom of the log, having secured sixteen points from a combined fifty-one. 

Heartland Owerri have lost six and drawn three games away from home, scoring four and conceding twenty. 

Over their previous thirteen meetings, Heartland Owerri have won four, while Kano Pillars have won six and three games ending in a tie. Heartland Owerri have been underwhelming on the road this season, scoring four in their previous nine games. On the other hand, Sani Abacha Stadium is a tough place for any team to visit. The visitors stand no chance here, and we expect this game to end in over 2.5 goals for 2.02.

Kano Pillars are expected to get a halftime victory for 1.70.

Both sides will get a goal apiece for 3.00.

Good luck!
