Kwara United vs Heartland Prediction: Kwara United to end the season on a good note

At the Kwara State Stadium, Kwara United will play Heartland in the final NPFL for the year 2023/2024 season. Heading into this game, Heartland of Owerri have no chance of avoiding relegation, while Kwara United will look to secure a win. How will this game end?

Kwara United will look to secure the season on a good note, and in this game as favorites, they will look to win. In their last match, Kwara United played Lobi Stars away from home but then lost 4-3. In that game, Kwara United took the lead twice but bottled their chances. Still, Kwara United have lost three of their last five games, with just one win over Kano Pillars while they drew Niger Tornadoes. This season, Kwara United have 48 points from 37 matches, positioning them 13th in the standings.

Heartland is off a 1-0 win over Niger Tornadoes, and in this game, they will look to secure another victory. In their last match, Chukwudi Esobe's lone strike in the 18th minute of the game was the difference. In recent matches, Heartland have won three encounters, two others against Gombe United and Doma United. However, their games against Akwa United and Remo Stars ended in defeats. This season, Heartland have just 38 points from 37 league matches, leaving them 19th in the NPFL standings. 

Heartland will at least want to end their season on a good note despite the fact they will not be in the league next season. On the other hand, Kwara United at home will be confident of winning. While the hosts scored three times last time out, I expect a similar performance here, this time with them winning.
