Kwara United vs Katsina United Prediction: The guests stand no chance against the wounded home team

Kwara United will lock horns against Katsina United in their attempt to return to winning ways at the Kwara State Complex Stadium on Sunday. Can the guests pull a surprise stunt here?

The Northern-based side bowed to their sixth defeat of the season against Rivers United on the road. The game was presumed to be tough, considering the fact that their opponent had been on a decent run at home, starting off with Katsina United getting a goal. However, Rivers United scored twice after the break to hand the guests their sixth away loss. 

Kwara United are five points below the fifth spot despite their poor start and must win here to close the gap at the top. Kabiru Dogo's men have been in fine form at home lately, picking up fourteen points from a possible twenty-one.

The visitors are one of the worst teams on the road this season and they’ll be keen to revive themselves against Kwara United. Katsina United failed to impress in front of their home supporters as they shared the spoils against Enugu Rangers. The toothless stalemate was a poor result, considering they hardly won on the road. Katsina United will be desperate to bounce back, even though they were better and were unlucky to have left without the maximum points. 

Katsina United have lost six and drawn twice over their previous eight games on the road.

Over their previous ten meetings, a game has ended in a share of the spoils, while Kwara United have won six and Katsina United with three victories. Kwara United have been clinical on their home turf lately, considering the quality of their opponent. They’ll face off against a Katsina United side who hardly wins on the road. 

Kwara United have lost back-to-back games, which happened to be on the road, and the implication here is for them to turn it around with a win against Katsina United in front of home supporters; bet on a home win or draw and under 3.5 goals for 1.74.

I expect the hosts to be more aggressive on their home turf and get a goal before the break for 1.88.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 2.20.

Good luck!
