The Savannah Scorpion head here with a disastrous performance against Kano Pillars on their ground. Globe United conceded five goals in a single match while responding twice. It was one of the worst days of their life, as their defense went on strike. The result means they have let in the second most goals this season (19) while finding the back of the net eight times. Gombe United's only hope of winning points is on their ground, as they are yet to win any of their last fourteen on the road.

Gombe United are the worst away side this season, having scored once and conceding eleven.

The last time both teams met, Gombe United defeated Lobi Stars (3-0) at Pantami Stadium, while Lobi Stars won (2-1) in Makurdi. Lobi Stars were stunned with the last kick of the game against Bendel Insurance, which we think they at least deserved a point. On the other hand, Gombe United were totally outnumbered by visiting Kano Pillars, who scored five times courtesy of Yusuf Abdullah. The eighteen-year-old found the back of the net five times to become the first player to score five in a game this season. It might even be worse here as Lobi Stars won’t spare them on their ground. Gombe United have lost at halftime in all their games away from home this season, and we expect Lobi Stars to capitalize on that; bet on a home halftime win for 2.22.

We expect the Lobi Stars to win with a correct score of (3-0) for 9.00.

The hosts will win in both halves for 2.50.

Good luck!
