Lobi Stars vs Akwa United Prediction: A low-scoring encounter expected

Lafia Township Stadium will host the NPFL round 32 game between Lobi Stars and Akwa United. The hosts won the last meeting of this fixture. Can the road side prove a point here?

Lobi Stars' last game was against Shooting Stars, and they ended up losing in the Federation Cup, round 1/16. In the meantime, Lobi Stars have failed to win any of their last four league games, losing to Shooting Stars and Gombe United in other encounters, while they drew Bendel Insurance. In fact, this team's last league win came against Enyimba in early April in a 1-0 encounter. This season, Lobi Stars have 52 points from 32 games, positioning them 5th in the league's log.  

Akwa United got the best of Zamfara United Feeders in their last game, securing a 4-1 win in the Federation Cup. In the meantime, this team's last league game was against Kano Pillars, a 3-0 encounter. However, Akwa United have three wins and two defeats in their last five games, one other win against Niger Tornadoes, while they lost to Kwara United and Remo Stars. This season, Akwa United have accumulated 37 points from 32 games, positioning them 18th in the league's log. 

This should be a low-scoring encounter. Each of this fixture's last three encounters of this meeting have ended with less than 2, and while both teams have not shown any serious play lately in attack, take few goals. Also, Lobi Stars are the better team here, and while they are at home, take the home team to take maximum points.
