Nasarawa United vs Shooting Stars Prediction: Shooting Stars will begin the season strong

In the Nigeria Professional Football League, Nasarawa United will play Shooting Stars at Lafia Township Stadium. The last time these two teams played, the home team won. How will this encounter end? Below are match previews and betting opportunities. 

Nasarawa United will hope to give a good impression in their return to the top-flight league. Last season in the Nigeria National League, Nasarawa United finished 33 points from 16 matches, leaving them seated second in Group C. In the meantime, Nasarawa United this team lost in the playoffs final against Beyond FC Limits on penalties but still did well to qualify for the NPFL, thanks to wins over El Kanemi Warriors, Sokoto United, and Sporting Supreme. 

Shooting Stars qualified for the CAF competition the previous season and will have high hopes in this one. Last season, Shooting Stars accumulated 62 points from 38 matches, scoring 48 goals and conceding 34. In the meantime, their run of games into the new season saw Shooting Stars win three encounters, coming against Abia Warriors, Enugu Rangers, and Sporting Lagos. In the meantime, their encounters against Bayelsa United and Rivers United ended in defeats in that run. 

Shooting Stars had a very good performance the previous season, and I expect them to be very strong here. While Nasarawa United are newly promoted, I expect them to enter this season with confidence, thanks to their home advantage. Expect the two teams to enter this game with confidence, but with the level of play Shooting Stars showed last season, I am certain they will pick a point here.
