Shooting Stars vs Kwara United Prediction: The guests stand no chance here

The Nigerian NPFL continues as the in-form Shooting Stars square off against Kwara United at the Lekan Salami Sports Complex on Saturday. The hosts will strive to extend their winning streak when they face off against Kwara United who have lost three consecutive away games. 

Last five games: LWWWW

Since their (2-0) SouthWest Derby loss against Remo Stars, Shooting Stars have won four consecutive matches in the division. It’s a good feeling in the camp of Oluyole Warriors, who head here with another excellent display against the defending champions. Ikouwem Udo Utin scored the only goal that secured them the maximum points away from home. This was after their (2-0) victory over Kano Pillars. Shooting Stars have won their last four matches, keeping a clean sheet in all. 

The hosts are unbeaten on their ground this season but have managed to win twice on the road. 

The Oluyole Warriors have picked up thirty points from a combined fifty-four, scoring seventeen and conceding thirteen. Shooting Stars have won seven and lost twice over their previous nine home matches.

Last five games: LWLLW

The Northern-based team secured all the points in a very difficult game against Katsina United. Kwara United were so poor in the game that they had to score from the penalty spot to win in front of their home supporters. They have been below par in recent games as they head here with two wins in five games. 

Kwara United are three points below the fifth spot despite their poor start and must win here to close the gap at the top. Kabiru Dogo's men have been in terrible form on the road lately, picking up six points from a possible twenty-seven.

Shooting Stars have won four, while Kwara United have recorded two wins and two games ending in a tie over their last eight meetings. Shooting Stars are buzzing coming into this game after picking up their back-to-back wins on the road this season. They’ll be keen to capitalize on Kwara United's poor defensive display at home tomorrow. 

The hosts are the second-best team when playing on their ground, and we expect them to win and score more than a goal here for 1.75.

We also think they’ll likely keep a clean sheet here as the guests will find it hard to break them down.

This game might end in a correct score of (3-0) for 6.20.

Good luck!
