Plateau United vs Kwara United Prediction: Hosts will not disappoint

Jos International Stadium will host the NPFL encounter between Plateau United and Kwara United in NPFL. Kwara United won the last fixture of this game and will hope for another win. Can Plateau United, as favorites, turn the tables?

Plateau United will hope for a better result following consecutive matches without a win. In that run of games, Plateau United lost to Enugu Rangers, Sunshine Stars, and Bayelsa United. In fact, their best result in that span was against Niger Tornadoes, a game that ended goalless. Heading into this game, Plateau United have 51 points accumulated from 34 matches, positioning them 6th in the NPFL standings.

Kwara United's last league encounter was against Niger Tornadoes, and this side picked up a point on the road. In that game, we witnessed a goalless encounter in the first half, and it was not until the 64th minute that Dehinde Ibrahim put Kwara United in the league. However, a last-minute strike by Bashiru Usman for Niger Tornadoes did deny Kwara United maximum points in that game. Heading into this game, Kwara United have had two wins, two draws, and one defeat in their last five matches. In the NPFL standings, Kwara United have 45 points accumulated from 34 games, positioning them 11th. 

Plateau United are expected to win this encounter. Being at home is a good advantage for this side, and while they have had a better season overall, I expect them to get things going their way in both halves of the game. Also, looking at these two teams' attacking ability, we could see this game end with many goals.
