Remo Stars vs Nasarawa United Prediction: The home team to return to winning ways

At Remo Star Stadium, Remo Stars will play Nasarawa United in the NPFL week six game. The previous time out, the two teams could not secure a victory. Which side gets things right here?

Remo Stars suffered their first defeat of the season against Kwara United the previous weekend and will look to turn the tables here. In that game, in the 62nd minute, Abdulraheem Shola’s strike was the difference, giving Remo Stars maximum points. However, their first four season matches ended in victories, defeating Sunshine Stars, Abia Warriors, Kano Pillars, and Rangers International. With 12 points, Remo Stars sit 3rd in the league standings, scoring seven goals and conceding two. 

Nasarawa United are coming off a goalless draw with Bayelsa United and will look to secure a win this time. Nasarawa United had 52 percent of the possession in that encounter, attempting 19 shots, with eight on target. However, their performances this season have been good, with just one defeat in five matches. In other matches, the visiting team drew three games while securing a win over Ikorodu City. Nasarawa United sit 11th in the NPFL standings heading into this game, accumulating six points from five games. 

Remo Stars have been good this season, and I do not expect them to struggle at home. While Nasarawa United have done well to avoid defeat in many matches this season, their offensive performance has not been too good. This should be competitive and close, as both teams are expected to be at their best. Yet, I trust the home side and am backing them to win with a two-goal margin.
