In this round of six matches for the Nigeria Professional Football League, Sunshine Stars will play host to Bayelsa United at the Akure Township stadium. In their most recent match, Sunshine Stars were defeated by Lobi Stars by a razor-thin margin, while Doma United played Bayelsa United to a draw.

During the current league season, Sunshine Stars scored an average of 0.8 goals per game they played in. In terms of disciplinary action, the away team received 0 red cards and 4 yellow cards during their match at home. After playing five matches so far this campaign, Sunshine Stars now hold the fifth spot in Group B of the NPFL league with six points to their name.

Bayelsa United comes into this match having won one of their previous five matches against Wikki Tourist, losing two to Abia Warriors and Lobi Stars, and playing to a draw in two of their previous five matches against Dakkada FC and Doma United. The club was only able to score five goals while giving up eight. Bayelsa United scored an average of one goal per match while playing on the road, but they allowed an average of 1.8 goals against them. The team was given three yellow cards but no red cards during the match. The percentage of time that Bayelsa United has had control of the ball during the entire season is a very respectable 51.00% on average. The away team currently has five points after five games played this season, putting them just one point ahead of Dakkada FC, which is currently in the relegation zone.

Despite the fact that they are not playing particularly well, it is anticipated that the home team will prevail in this encounter. When compared to the away squad, the one playing at home appears to be in much better shape, and if they have the backing of their own fans, they will undoubtedly emerge victorious. On the other hand, Bayelsa United has been on the losing end of at least two goals in each of their most recent four matches, which is a sign that this match should also have a high number of goals scored in it. In spite of this, a wager on goals being scored by both sides appears to be a viable option, given that the defensive lines of both clubs have been breached in the majority of the games they have played so far this season.
