Akwa United vs Niger Tornadoes Prediction: Akwa United will score more than a goal

The Nigeria Professional League resumes as Akwa United lock horns with Niger Tornadoes at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Sunday. The defending champions are fighting for a top-four finish and a home game against a team who have never won away this season is a favourable way to accumulate points.

Akwa United (7th)

Last five matches: WWLDD

Akwa United recorded a back to back draw against Sunshine United and Enyimba of Aba, before then, they lost to Katsina United away from home, they have taken two points away from three matches both home and away. They are 7th on the log with forty-one points and are five points adrift of third-place because reaching the second or first position might prove to be an effort in futility.

They have picked up eight points from a possible fifteen matches both home and away.
