Kwara United vs Kano Pillars Prediction: A tough encounter to predict

Kwara United and Kano Pillars will battle it out at Kwara State Stadium in the NPFL week 36. How will the two sides perform here?

Kwara United ended on the losing end against Plateau United last weekend, suffering a 2-0 loss on the road. In that game, goals from Alexander Enejo and Daniel Barnabas were all their opponents needed to take maximum points, handing them their third game with no win. However, prior to that poor run, Kwara United went seven games with no defeat, winning four and drawing three. In the NPFL this season, Kwara United have 45 points accumulated from 35 matches, leaving them seated 13th in the standings. 

Kano Pillars settled for a 1-1 draw against Niger Tornadoes last weekend, and heading into this game, the visiting team will hope for a better outcome here. In that game, two goals from their players, with Ismaila Nasir scoring an own goal while Rabiu Ali also leveled the scores were the difference in that encounter. Heading into this game, Kano Pillars have won three, drew one and lost one of their last five matches. In the NPFL this season, Kano Pillars have 48 points from 35 matches, positioning them 10th in the standings. 

This will be very tough to predict, and it is tough to write either side off. Kano Pillars have been good lately and have had more wins in these fixtures lately. However, Kwara United at home are tough to bet against, especially considering they will look to avoid another defeat in this encounter. With goals from both ends in the last meetings, we can expect a similar result, while the hosts take maximum points.
