Sporting Lagos vs Heartland Owerri Prediction: A halftime victory is on the card for the hosts

Sporting Lagos will strive to improve their goal difference when they face off against winless Heartland Owerri at the Onikan Stadium on Sunday. Can the visitors get their first win of the season here?

Last five games: LWLWL

The Noisy Lagosians failed to impress on the road as they suffered another defeat. The best team at the moment, Lobi Stars, scored once before the break to secure the maximum points. The result came after their victory over Kano Pillars in Lagos.

Sporting Lagos have picked up eleven points in their last eight games, scoring nine and conceding six.

Their young and energetic team has shown they are up to the task, and with their recent triumph over Kano Pillars on their home turf, we expect an excellent performance from them here.

The visitors are having one of their worst starts to the season, having played eight games without a breakthrough. More recently, after scoring twice and leading in the 80th minute, they conceded twice with a few minutes to the final whistle. The game ended in a (2-2) stalemate and further confirmed their poor performance this season.

Heartland Owerri have drawn their last four games on their ground, scoring six and conceding six times.

Heartland Owerri have been poor this season; they are the only team yet to register a win since the start of the campaign. On the opposing end, Sporting Lagos are yet to win on the road, and that mathematically means they need all the points available on their home turf to survive. They can’t afford to gamble here, and we expect them to start strong; bet on halftime win for 2.20.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.33.

Sporting Lagos will get all the points and score more than once here for 2.01.

Good Luck!
