Katsina United vs Kano Pillars Prediction: This North West Derby will produce goals

Katsina United will be keen to end Kano Pillar's unbeaten run at the Mohammed Dikko Stadium on Wednesday. The Chanji Boys head here four days after their decent performance against Kwara United on the road with two men down. At the same time, Kano Pillars marched here with a five-star display against Sunshine Stars. 

Last five games: WWDWD

The visitors are gradually working their way to the top after a poor start to the season. Katsina United march here with a (1-1) stalemate against Kwara United on the road as Micheal Ibe scored in the 86th minute to cancel their opponent's early lead. The Chanji Boys' only hope of surviving this season is to always win on their ground, and they are yet to taste defeat at home this season.

Katsina United have picked up thirty-one points from a combined sixty-three, scoring seventeen and conceding fifteen.

The visitors moved to third spot on the log following their (5-1)) victory over Sunshine Stars. They scored five goals in a game for the second time this season as they overwhelmed their struggling opponent. Kano Pillars have found the back of the net in their last six games in the league. Kano Pillars have been in decent form lately, winning four and sharing the spoils in their previous five games. 

Kano Pillars have always been a great team on their own turf but have struggled on the road, with a win, two draws, and seven losses. Kano Pillars could challenge for the title this season, and we think they won’t back down without a fight. 

Over their previous eleven games, Kano Pillars have won four while Katsina United have recorded three wins and four games ending in a tie. Home sides have controlled this fixture over the years, and there has never been a time a team lost on their own turf. Kano Pillars are pushing really high this season, and they are sky-high in confidence. At the same time, Katsina United have beaten all the top sides on their ground, and it’ll take another five-star performance for the visitors to get anything away from this game. One thing is certain here: the host won’t lose this game; however, we think both sides will get a goal apiece for 2.28.

This highly anticipated North West Derby is expected to produce goals; bet on over 2.5 goals for 2.54.

We expect the hosts to win for 1.75.

Good luck!
